Overview:

Be a champion on the front lines of the fight against suicide!  The Train-the-Trainer Workshop offers an in-depth exploration of suicide risk factors and the latest techniques and resources for combating these risks.  Through group discussions and hands-on learning, you will be equipped to help train and educate your own agency to combat suicide.  You will also become more knowledgeable of available resources and programs and how to implement them at your agency.

This training will cover:

• The latest data available on law enforcement officer suicide
• Evidence-based strategies
• Supporting research (e.g., positive psychology)
• Instructional design principles
• Resources for continued professional development
• The development of a specific and individualized action plan
• The four-hour Line Officer Training PowerPoint, which can be customized with the agency’s information and used to continue the training process within the organization

This workshop will enable established trainers and instructors to support their agencies’ programs and encourage and effect behavioral and organizational culture change.  Participants will have the opportunity to hone their instructional skills by incorporating key points from the pre-class homework assignment into their in-class presentations.

In order to participate, you must have successfully completed either the SAFLEO Line Officer Training or the SAFLEO Leadership and Supervision Training.
