As more attention is given to youth mental health, more people are opening discussion regarding the issues of youth suicide. However, this issue is often hard to talk about in our homes, in our schools, and in our communities. A new, on-line FREE training program designed for those who work with youth, Missouri Ask Listen Refer, assists schools, community groups, churches, and others train key personnel and provide Missourians with helpful suicide prevention information. This program can be used in schools, youth groups, churches, etc. In a 20 minute web-based training session, MoALR teaches how to ASK if someone is thinking about suicide, genuinely LISTEN to their response, and REFER them to help. It includes the facts about suicide, sample conversations, videos, and resource lists for the state. During this webinar, attendees will learn more about this program and its evidence-based model how this program fits with other evidence-based and best practice strategies for effective suicide prevention for youth.
