Please log on and register for a learning pathway. These learning pathways will help participants to become competent in screening for suicide risk factors in military communities. The training is intended for the Veteran community, clinicians, faith-based organizations, and laypeople who are interested in learning more about suicide prevention in our military community.
All participants will earn a certificate of completion, and CEUs may be provided.
