VA S.A.V.E. Preventing Caregiver Suicide
After taking this course, you will develop an understanding of the increased risk for suicide we see in military and Veteran caregivers, identify the signs of an at-risk Veteran caregiver, and know steps you can take to help a Veteran caregiver.
Columbia Scale for Communities
To create an open, honest discussion about mental health, and to actively prevent more of your brothers and sisters who have served from dying by suicide, military members and Veterans should use the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS).
Postvention: Healing After Suicide
Postvention is a term unfamiliar to many people, yet it is a critical component of suicide prevention. This course, narrated by Dr. Shauna Springer, explains postvention, what it is and why it is important.
