Suicide in the Fire Service

Attendees will learn about identifying warning signs for suicide and the basics of assessment, in an effort to be better equipped to help themselves, as well as peers. This presentation will seek to empower attendees to ask appropriate questions if they are concerned about suicide in a peer and how to best intervene.

This presentation is ideal for IAFF members (active and retired), clinicians, fire service leadership, peer support team members, chaplains, spouses, and other individuals who may be seeking to learn more about suicide in the fire service and ways they can contribute to prevention efforts.
