Secure Firearm Storage Counseling for Suicide Prevention 2: How

This course is designed for behavioral health and medical providers who have a foundational understanding of secure firearm storage in the context of suicide prevention and wish to build proficiency and comfort in discussing secure firearm storage practices with patients at risk of suicide. The training will enable attendees to move beyond making basic recommendations and give them the knowledge, skills, and tools to engage in patient-centered counseling that encourages meaningful firearm-related behavior change. As attendees move through the course, they will examine potential reasons a person might have for owning and using firearms, the value they may place on their firearms, why they may store their firearms in certain ways, and why they may be reluctant or ambivalent about adopting secure firearm storage practices. Patient perception of firearm suicide risk will also be considered, and attendees will have the opportunity to explore and practice using strategies (e.g., patient-centered language and motivational interviewing) that can be leveraged to initiate conversations about secure firearm storage for suicide prevention and encourage patients to adopt new firearm storage practices. After completing this training, attendees will be better equipped to navigate these conversations, having learned and developed a counseling approach that recognizes and respects patients’ needs and values, draws on established behavior change frameworks (e.g., the Health Belief Model), and incorporates realistic expectations for patient behavior change.

Strategies for Reentry Planning for Parole and Probation Officers

The United States admits millions of individuals to local jails and thousands to prisons each year (Mueller & Kluckow, 2025; Zeng, 2023). Many enter the system with behavioral health needs. Because these conditions often worsen without consistent treatment, effective reentry planning becomes essential. Yet only a portion of individuals receive coordinated support as they transition back into the community, leaving many without the treatment, medications, or follow-up care needed to stabilize their health and reduce their risk of returning to custody. For parole and probation officers, this raises an important reflection: how might outcomes improve when even one person has your guidance and support during reentry?

To build on the strong work you already do in this field, this course provides additional strategies to deepen support, strengthen connection, and help individuals move toward healthier futures. It also illustrates some of the real challenges people may experience during reentry.
