Samaritans’ CEO program provides workshops and trainings throughout the community to provide others with the ability to support people they know who may be at risk of suicide. Over the past year, we have provided both in person and virtual trainings. In 2022, we presented 234 prevention workshops reaching over 7,627 participants. With the pandemic restrictions on in-person meetings, we successfully shifted the workshops to a virtual, interactive format and are now pro-vide both in person and virtual workshops.GeographiesBoston, MA, USA;Massachusetts, USADatesNot indicatedSourceUser-generatedSuicide crisis intervention,Support groupsAdolescents,Adults,LGBTQ people,Families,Multiracial people7.6K–Grief Support Services (GSS)
