We offer a hands-on workshop based on PC CARES curriculum that prepares school staff to talk confidently and respectfully with families about firearm safety to reduce suicide risk. Through practical skill-building and tailored guidance, participants learn how to support parents 1:1 and integrate lethal means reduction protocols across their organization. Participants gain tools, practice skills, and consider how to embed lethal means reduction protocols across their schools and districts.
