The Newnan First United Methodist Church is hosting the “Third Annual I Will Intervene Challenge” on March 23.
The one-day suicide prevention workshop is open to all and offers continuing education credit for mental health professionals.
The workshop is based on work with more than 24,000 soldiers and is designed for members of all care-giving groups — medical professionals, law enforcement personnel, educators, ministers, counselors, coaches, human resource directors, managers, military personnel or anyone desiring to learn the skills needed to save others from suicide.
In the class, emphasis is on the “L3 Model” of active listening for signs of risk; learning the reasons why a person is at risk; leading the person to move toward life-promoting activities that will enhance resilience and reduce risk.
