The Suicide Prevention Training Institute is honored to receive a grant from the Love IV Lawrence Memorial Foundation to provide suicide prevention and intervention training the Veterans, their Families, and Gatekeepers.

Visit the Love IV Lawrence Memorial Foundation website for more information about this wonderful organization.

Sixty participants will be able to attend the 2-day Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training Workshop at no cost.

  • The Florida Department of Veterans Affairs Fire Watch data reports the following Veteran suicides and rates in the Greater Tampa Bay area (2011-2021).
    Citrus: 123 (49.97); Hernando: 107 (42.34); Hillsborough: 380 (28.96); Manatee: 165 (38.38); Pasco 265 (41.92); Pinellas 382 (34.82)
    Rates are expressed per 100,000 Veterans.
  • These data clearly demonstrate the need for community-based suicide prevention training. The training efforts will bring critical life-saving training to the right participants, at the right time, in the right place – their local Community.
