Most 9-1-1 professionals do their best to manage calls with those struggling with suicide. However, traditionally, these very first responders lack adequate training on the topic. This two hour course is a powerful introduction to Building LifeBridges to Suicide Callers, an expertly-designed training based on the science of suicidology and customized specifically for the 9-1-1 professional’s work at the console. While at least eight hours of such training is needed to achieve call mastery with these call types, this session provides dispatchers with a solid foundation to improve their emergency response and to protect their own resilience.
