Juneau Suicide Prevention Coalition (a program of NAMI Juneau) offers free community suicide prevention training.
Learn how to create a safety plan for yourself and how to assist a loved one in making their own before it’s needed at our Suicide Safety Planning Workshop.
Safety planning is about brainstorming ways to stay safe during a suicide crisis. A Suicide Safety Plan is a written plan for what to do when someone is in a crisis. These can be made with a loved one or for yourself. The plan will list out steps and ideas, such as how to recognize when you or a loved one is struggling, what does self care look like, who is the best support person(s), and making the environment safe to reduce suicide risk. Training takes approximately 2 hours.
We can also offer 1-on-1 help creating a suicide safety plan. Contact us to schedule a time.
