Vermont Child Welfare Training Partnership has teamed up with the Center for Health and Learning and the Vermont Department of Health to develop a version of their Umatter® Suicide Prevention Awareness and Skills training for their staff and volunteers. The Umatter® Awareness and Skills Training is for people who want to learn more about how to destigmatize suicide awareness, enhance knowledge, comfort, and skills to identify those at risk for suicide, and identify resources to get help. This training is supported by Facing Suicide VT, a statewide prevention initiative coordinated by the Vermont Departments of Health and Mental Health and the Center for Health and Learning through funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Comprehensive Suicide Prevention Program.
