SUMMARY:Suicide Prevention Efforts for Veterans and Service Members - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:CDPH Office of Suicide Prevention (OSP) Community of Practice Webinar\n\n\n\n\n\nDate & Time\nDec 11\, 2025 01:00 PM in Pacific Time (US and Canada)\n\n\nDescription\nThe California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Office of Suicide Prevention (OSP) is excited to continue hosting our Community of Practice webinar series. The purpose of these meetings is to bring together our OSP partners to connect\, collaborate\, share\, and learn from one another’s successes and challenges working on suicide prevention efforts at the local and state level. For the December OSP Community of Practice\, we will highlight suicide prevention efforts for Veterans and Service Members. This webinar will feature a presentation from Dr. Mike Anestis\, Executive Director of the New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center and professor at Rutgers School of Public Health. Dr. Anestis will discuss the various ways in which messaging can play an important role in facilitating secure firearm storage and suicide prevention for Veterans and Service Members. Leveraging recent research findings\, Dr. Anestis will discuss communication at the public health\, community\, and individual level\, highlighting important considerations regarding trusted messengers\, effective message content\, and impactful message delivery channels. The presentation will demonstrate that even the most powerful prevention tools will lose their value if they are presented in the wrong place\, in the wrong way\, or by the wrong people. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of existing national resources to facilitate firearm suicide prevention both within and beyond veteran communities. Additionally\, Dr. Jonah Cox\, with the CDPH Office of Suicide Prevention\, will provide a brief overview of 2023 Veteran suicide data in California and the OSP program team will spotlight local suicide prevention efforts for Veterans.

SUMMARY:The Office of Suicide Prevention 2025 Biennial Needs Assessment - Survey
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 Biennial OSP Needs Assessment Survey will remain open for one more week so please don’t miss this opportunity to share your input and feedback. To access the survey\, please click here. If you have already responded\, thank you for your time and feedback. \n  \nThe OSP has four strategic priorities: Communications\, Safe Environments\, Crisis Response & Postvention\, and Continuing Education and Training. These priorities arose from feedback within our 2023 OSP Needs Assessment\, as well as state and national suicide prevention plans. \n  \nThe purpose of the survey is to obtain information on which focus areas\, activities\, and types of support within these strategic priorities will best support your suicide prevention work at the State and local level. Your input will help inform future suicide prevention efforts as we learn more about the evolving needs of our statewide partners. The information we obtain through the survey responses will be summarized and shared back out via our program list serv and on our webpage. \n  \nThe survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. While not a requirement\, there is an opportunity to provide your contact information at the end of the survey if you’d like to share more with the OSP and/or engage in a post-survey interview or follow-up conversation. \n  \nPlease feel free to share this email and survey information with other suicide prevention colleagues. We would like to hear from everyone – prevention staff\, managers\, clinicians\, and leadership – about your current strengths\, challenges and most importantly\, how we can best support you in your essential work. \n  \nHere is a link to this survey. The survey will remain open until COB on Friday\, May 16.
