The Overwatch Project isn’t your usual suicide prevention initiative. It’s gritty and blunt and in-your-face, as it takes on a topic that is often taboo: the intersection of firearms and suicide. The goal is to save lives by equipping people to #JustFKNAsk – and successfully intervene to discuss and make plans for protective firearms storage measures when a life is on the line. Basically, the Overwatch Project has built the equivalent of the “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk” campaign for veterans and service members, only instead of talking about alcohol and vehicles, it’s focused on guns and suicide. All are welcome. While this has a focus on the military and veteran community, anyone who is concerned about suicide in Montana can benefit from this training. Pre-registration is appreciated: https://overwatchproject.org/montana This free training is provided in partnership with the Montana State University Travis W. Atkins Veteran Support Center, MSU Counseling and Psychological Services, the Help Center, Warriors & Quiet Waters Foundation, and the 17 to ZERO Project.
