Attorney General Phil Weiser today announced new free, virtual trainings designed to help Colorado families, community members, and educators recognize warning signs of suicide and violence and better understand prevention tools, including Colorado’s Extreme Risk Protection Order law. The trainings are being launched as Colorado continues to face one of the nation’s highest suicide rates and ongoing challenges related to firearm violence.

“Violence and suicide are often preventable when people know the warning signs and understand the tools available to help. Whether it’s a parent concerned about a loved one, a community member worried about someone in crisis, or an educator supporting a student, these trainings provide practical information that can help save lives. By helping people recognize warning signs and take action early, we can help prevent acts of violence, support people in crisis, and build safer communities across Colorado.” – AG Weiser
