A chaplain for the Bedford County Sheriff's Office is in search of resources to enhance education on suicide prevention to better assist his agency and help other area chaplains improve their knowledge base as well.

This meeting allowed the consortium to have a directed discussion about agencies policy following an officer suicide.

Dispatcher and crisis hotline staff both play important roles in helping individuals in moments of crisis. Although they both share the goal of helping the caller, the steps each role takes can differ greatly. This webinar will teach what those steps are, how shared information can speed up the process, and how each agency can best help the other to save a caller’s life.
