CoC S.A.V.E. Training [via Zoom]

NOTE: This meeting will serve as the CoC Coalition Meeting for May 2025.

The goal of S.A.V.E. is to teach others how to recognize warning signs for suicide risk and how to connect Veterans in distress with help. S.A.V.E. is intended to empower you to inspire others to be more “suicide aware” and to better serve Veterans in your community. S.A.V.E. stands for “Signs of suicidal thinking,” “Ask the question,” “Validate the Veteran’s experience,” and “Encourage treatment and expedite getting help.” This training is what is known as “gatekeeper training” and is a recognized best practice in suicide prevention. Gatekeeper training, which imparts basic skills for talking to individuals in crisis, helps prepare members of the public to step in when someone they interact with is experiencing a crisis.
