Preventing Law Enforcement Suicide: Strategies for Effective and Positive Messaging

Messaging is an important component of suicide prevention efforts. The way a police agency talks about suicide has a significant impact in preventing suicide and encouraging help-seeking behavior for those who may be in crisis.

Join BJA, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the Education Development Center (EDC), and the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention for this webinar to learn about effective strategies for executive leaders and public information officers to promote positive messaging when talking about suicide and suicide prevention in your agency.

The webinar will feature:

• Michael Costigan, BJA Acting Director
• Chief John W. Morrissey (Ret), Kenosha, WI Police Department
• Ms. Colleen Carr, Director and Secretariat, National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC)
