VA S.A.V.E is a free training available to anyone who wants to help prevent suicide. This gatekeeper training teaches participants how to identify signs that someone may be thinking of suicide, how to start a conversation, and how to encourage the person to seek help. The four-step model can be used in any setting to connect with those in crisis. 

S - Signs of suicide

A- Ask the most important question

V- Validate the person's experience

E- Encourage and Expedite care

Please consider attending a session if you are looking to learn more about how to help those thinking about suicide. You do NOT have to be a mental health professional. 

The more people we have trained to help, the more lives we can save together
