  • Bringing School Personnel Training Legislation to Your State Lawmakers


    Thursday, May 17, 2012 - 2:00pm   Webinar
    This webinar highlights the work of several AFSP volunteers and staff who have been active participants in the movement to move legislation forward in Utah, Alaska and South Carolina this year that will require suicide prevention training for school personnel. These volunteers will share how they got involved in the legislative process, successes and challenges they faced, what they learned from the process, and how their chapters have been and will continue to work within their communities to be a resource for their schools. This webinar will give guidance to others who may be interested in bringing similar legislation to their own state lawmakers.
