New Suicide Prevention Guide for Law Enforcement Available Now

SAVE, Facebook and Instagram are pleased to announce the release of a new, FREE, Suicide Prevention Guide for Law Enforcement.

Developed in partnership with and endorsed by the nation’s leading law enforcement agencies (Badge of Life, Copline, International Association of Chiefs of Police, National Police Suicide Foundation, Safe Call Now, The Pain Behind the Badge and The Barbara Schneider Foundation), this Guide is written in language familiar to those serving our communities and is intended to help those in law enforcement be able to recognize a fellow officer who might be at risk of suicide and how to take action to help them. The Guide addresses issues specific to officers including confidentiality and disclosures, cultural differences, distressing content posted on Facebook and provides suggested resources.

The Guide is available at: http://fb.me/LESafetyGuide.  If you would like FREE printed copies of the Guide or wallet cards with the website address to distribute at conferences, community events, to local police departments, etc., please contact Daniel J. Reidenbery, PsyD, at dreidenberg@save.org.
