SUMMARY:2nd Alarm Webinar:  Zero Suicide Framework for First Responders
DESCRIPTION:Suicide prevention with first responders requires more than good intentions\, it takes a plan. The Zero Suicide Framework is a nationally recognized\, evidence-informed\, system-wide strategy that calls for strong organizational commitment and the integration of prevention practices from leadership through the front lines. This webinar explores how the framework has been adapted for first responder agencies to strengthen resilience\, reduce risk\, and embed a culture of safety and support. \nParticipants will learn:\n-Each core element of the Zero Suicide Framework and its purpose\n-How to adapt and apply these elements specifically in first responder environments\n-Actionable strategies for implementing the model\n-An operational case study demonstrating how the model was successfully adapted at the statewide level \nJoin us to explore how the Zero Suicide Framework can transform how first responder agencies address suicide risk and prevention.
