Summary: Counseling on Access to Lethal Means (CALM) is a powerful addition to existing strategies to reduce the risk of suicide death in at-risk people while respecting their rights and autonomy. Help keep your at-risk clients safe by learning how to collaborate with them to implement safe storage of firearms and dangerous medications. This training is listed in the Suicide Prevention Research Center's best practice registry. The oldest and most widely-used training on lethal means safety, CALM teaches why means matter and equips individuals with tools to intervene effectively with those at risk for suicide both upstream (before a crisis hits), as well as in times of crisis. This training workshop is designed specifically for clinicians and includes case studies, breakout discussions and valuable clinical training videos.

Intended Audience: Created for mental health clinicians, primary care providers, substance abuse counselors, hotline responders, and crisis intervention services.

Objectives: At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to…

1. List facts about suicide.
2. Identify how to inquire about the accessibility of lethal means.
3. Practice how to suggest safe storage.
4. Appraise results of lethal means reduction in countries outside the U.S.
5. Practice skills through group discussion and interactive activities.

Join this free webinar to learn the latest information on avian influenza threats affecting workers and animals in the poultry industry. Hear from industry leaders and public health researchers as they share current insights, risks, and prevention strategies.

Summary: Join this session to learn how assistive technology is transforming agriculture for farmers and ranchers with disabilities—and how, together, we can build more inclusive rural communities.

Objectives: During this presentation, attendees will learn...

• Physical and cognitive disabilities can create real obstacles in daily farm operations. 
• This might include mobility issues—like climbing onto a tractor or navigating rough terrain—or sensory impairments like limited vision or hearing. Cognitive disabilities, such as those caused by brain injuries or conditions like PTSD, can affect decision-making and time management.
• Beyond the physical, there are economic and social challenges. 
• Adaptive equipment can be costly, and many rural communities lack support services. There's also the stigma. Isolation. A lack of understanding. We will discuss that despite these challenges, many farmers persevere—especially when given the right tools.

Intended Audience: All people working with or in the agriculture community, especially those with disabilities or working with people with disabilities.

Join this free webinar to learn the latest information on avian influenza threats affecting workers and animals in the dairy industry. Hear from industry leaders and public health researchers as they share current insights, risks, and prevention strategies.

For producers, spotting the first signs of a possible avian influenza outbreak can bring on a flood of stress, worry, and tough decisions. The emotional toll — before, during, and after flock depopulation — is real, and it affects everyone involved. So how do we recognize when someone’s struggling with all of this? And maybe more importantly, how do we show up for them — as coworkers and team members?

In this webinar, we’ll talk about how to support each other through the mental and emotional challenges that come with avian influenza outbreaks. We’ll walk through some simple strategies that individuals and teams can use, and introduce a helpful tool designed to guide those conversations and check-ins. Extra resources will be provided that you can lean on, whether you’re going through it yourself or helping someone else.

Summary: Overdose deaths are a leading cause of injury-related death in the United States and the majority of overdose deaths involve opioids. This epidemic is impacting communities all across the country. Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids when given in time. This session is designed to prepare communities and non-medical public and safety professionals to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose. Participants will learn the warning signs of opioid overdose and how to intervene safely using naloxone. 

Objectives: At the end of this webinar participants will be able to...

• Identify risk factors for opioid intentional and nonintentional overdose
• Recognize the signs of opioid overdose
• Respond effectively to an opioid overdose
• Correctly administer intranasal naloxone

Intended Audience: All communities, academia, workplace employers, and employees

Summary: This session will review the clinical features, specimen handling, epidemiologic clues, and reporting steps for New World screwworm myiasis so clinicians can recognize when to consider this rare but serious parasitic infestation, emphasizing that common wound etiologies remain far more likely and that screwworm should be a low-probability diagnosis except when compatible wounds, visible larvae, and recent travel/exposure to endemic areas are present.

Objectives: At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to...

• Recognize key signs of New World screwworm myiasis and when to suspect it. 
• Manage initial bedside care: remove larvae, care for the wound, and preserve specimens. 
• Report suspected cases and communicate relevant travel or animal-exposure history to appropriate officials.

Summary: Driving demands more than skill—it requires awareness, presence, and emotional control. This presentation explores how mindfulness practices can improve focus, reduce stress, and enhance safety on the road. Participants will learn how slow, intentional movements, calm breathing, and emotional regulation can help prevent reactive driving behaviors and fatigue-related crashes. The session also addresses the dangers of multitasking, drowsy driving, and “passive fatigue” caused by long, monotonous routes. Practical tools and take-home strategies—such as mindful breathing exercises, pre-drive check-ins, and healthy rest habits—equip drivers to stay alert and proactive. This session reminds participants that “Your mind and presence are your most important safety features.”

Objectives: During this presentation, attendees will learn...

• How sleep impacts health and safety
  
• The effects of drowsy and distracted driving
• What mindfulness is
• Tips and techniques for mindful driving

Intended Audience: Anyone who drives, with a particular focus on driver’s education students.

Summary: Off-road vehicles, including all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility task vehicles (UTVs) are extremely popular and a common source of injury and death in rural areas, especially farms and ranches. While the use of ATVs/UTVs on public roadways increases the likelihood of a crash with another vehicle, the majority of roadway deaths and an even higher proportion of injuries on public roads are single ATV/UTV crashes not involving another motor vehicle.  

ATVs/UTVs are designed for off-road use only, and manufacturers have strongly stated that they should not be operated on public roadways. In fact, the majority of deaths associated with these vehicles occur on public roads. Despite this, an increasing number of states, counties, and municipalities across the country are passing laws allowing ATVs/UTVs to operate on public roadways for transportation and recreational purposes. During this presentation, we will discuss the safety issues surrounding ATVs/UTVs on public roads and, in particular, the design elements of ATVs/UTVs that place their operators at greater risk on public roads. We will discuss how rural families can help protect themselves, their families, and employees from ATV/UTV-related crashes and injury.

Objectives: At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to: 

• List at least three design features of ATVs and UTVs that contribute to crashes and subsequent injury, and be able to discuss how these features make ATVs/UTVs vulnerable to problems on both paved and unpaved roads.
• Identify at least three other factors that contribute to ATV/UTV-related crashes and injuries, and how they might decrease the risk to themselves, their families, and employees. 
• Understand and appreciate ATV/UTV safety messages they might share with others, and how they could be effective advocates for informed safety legislation regarding ATVs/UTVs.

Intended audience: Farmers, ranchers, parents, agriculture production workers, healthcare providers, emergency medical services, public health officials, government and legislative leaders, administrators
