CIM Workshops are designed to bring together interagency teams from counties, cities, or other local jurisdictions to: Assess local crisis care systems to improve coordination and services Strengthening collaboration through military, Veteran, and civilian community partners Apply evidence-based and best practices in SMVF suicide prevention Develop a tailored Crisis Intercept Map for your community with a corresponding action plan to improve crisis care services Given that the majority of Veterans who die by suicide are not connected to Department of Veterans Affairs at the time of their death, community-based partners in crisis response play a crucial role in prevention efforts. Your community’s commitment places you alongside other dedicated counties, cities, and regions from across the nation whom we are honored to support. Participating in the CIM initiative will empower an interagency team within your community to identify systemic gaps and enhance the delivery of evidence-based suicide prevention policies and practices, especially during a time of increased risk for SMVF.
