LINC to Life Safety Planning (L2L) Training
A two and a half hour workshop designed to teach mental health professionals and those interacting with suicidal clients how to collaboratively develop a safety plan using a comprehensive tool (My Wellness Toolbox & Crisis Action Plan). This tool focuses on strategies to identify warning signs of suicide, to reduce stressors and triggers, and to enhance social support, coping, strengths, and reasons for living. Additionally, this tool helps to keep the environment safe through collaborative lethal means restriction and crisis planning.
