Suicide prevention training and collaboration across Vermont

If you are interested in suicide prevention trainings, community network meetings, or technical assistance opportunities anywhere in Vermont, tell us what matters to you. We will keep you up to date as opportunities are scheduled.

About this work

Prevention runs on who knows whom

Strategraph supports the State of Vermont with statewide coalition building, technical assistance on the state suicide prevention plan, and skills training for the prevention workforce.

Vermont is a small state with a widely distributed population, which makes the connective work matter more than usual. A trained gatekeeper in one county is useful. A trained gatekeeper who knows exactly who to call in the next county is a functioning system. This list exists so we can put the right opportunity in front of the right person rather than sending everything to everyone.

There is no cost to being on it, and no obligation attached to expressing interest.

What is available

Opportunities across the state

Offerings vary through the year. Indicating interest below means you hear about the ones you care about as they are scheduled.

Skills training

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), Question Persuade Refer (QPR), and school focused options such as Mental Health First Aid, delivered for staff, volunteers, and community members.

Community network meetings

Regional gatherings where prevention partners meet the people they will need to call, share what is working locally, and surface gaps that no single organization can see alone.

Statewide coalition

The statewide body coordinating suicide prevention strategy across sectors, including the work of implementing the state suicide prevention plan.

Postvention

Support and practice for communities responding after a suicide death, where the response itself shapes the risk carried by everyone connected to that loss.

Lived experience training

Sessions led by and centered on people with lived experience of suicidality and loss, which consistently changes how a room understands the work.

Technical assistance office hours

Open sessions to bring a specific problem, whether it concerns program design, data, coalition dynamics, or a grant deadline that is closing in.
