Oregon CALM (Counseling on Access to Lethal Means)

Oregon CALM is an 8-hour training developed to assist medical, clinical, crisis-response, and direct service providers
with Lethal Means Counseling using an informed, collaborative, and respectful approach. It has been adapted from the CALM America curriculum to incorporate components of Addressing Firearm Safety with Patients at Risk of Suicide: A Course for
Healthcare Providers in Rural Areas and research with Oregon residents who own firearms.

Oregon CALM is a suicide prevention training that is neither anti-gun nor anti-medication. Given the focus on lethal means counseling, course content and discussions will cover these topics in depth. Though not a requirement, previous suicide prevention training is recommended, as this course does not thoroughly cover introductory topics like gatekeeper skills, asking the question, and risk assessment.
