Training Opportunities:
As part of a comprehensive
state suicide prevention plan, the Department for Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Addiction Services makes

opportunities ranging from 90-minute to full-day workshops, some approved for CEU credits. To learn more about these classes, contact Jan Ulrich at (502) 564-4456 or email jan.ulrich@ky.gov.

In 2002, the Kentucky Department for Mental Health, Developmental Disability and Addiction Services invited various community leaders to establish the Kentucky Suicide Prevention Group (KSPG). Today, KSPG is made up of various community stakeholders including suicide survivors (those who have lost someone close to them to suicide), people who have attempted suicide, or know someone who has attempted, mental health professionals and others who have an interest in suicide prevention in the Commonwealth. Meetings are open to the general public.

For more information regarding the Kentucky Suicide Prevention Group, QPR gatekeeper training, or ways that you or your community can get involved in suicide prevention, see our contact information below. It's finally time to talk about suicide.
