Gain the Skills that Save Lives
The Intervene Challenge is not another model of intervention - It’s a movement of caring individuals who have accepted the challenge to be agents of hope and healing for those at risk of suicide. The movement is powered by the Listen Learn Lead Model of Suicide Intervention. More than 21,000 individuals have participated in L3 live training events in venues nationwide.
This online training event is open to all community members and offers CEUs
for Georgia licensed LPCs, Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapist
