SUMMARY:How Healthcare Professionals Can Promote Firearm Safety
DESCRIPTION:Every clinician has a role to play in preventing suicide. Yet most have never been trained to talk about firearms. \nIn Massachusetts\, more than half of firearm deaths are suicides. Healthcare professionals are uniquely positioned to intervene if a patient is in crisis. \nThis webinar equips frontline clinicians—including physicians\, nurses\, and social workers—with practical tools and language to start these conversations. Learn how to incorporate firearm safety into routine visits\, assess lethality\, and recognize when to consider an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO)\, an important and underutilized option now available to Massachusetts clinicians. \nGun violence is a growing epidemic and medical professionals need to be part of the conversation. Safer communities are built through honest dialogue\, and this session will help you find your role — whether at the bedside\, in your institution\, or as an advocate for your patients and community. \nFunding for this webinar is provided by a grant received from the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office. Application for social work continuing education credits has been submitted.

SUMMARY:Beyond Policy: How Immigrant Status Impacts Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Since January 2025\, suicides have accounted for nearly 20% of all deaths in ICE custody\, and nearly 80% of likely undocumented immigrants have reported negative health impacts due to immigration-related stress (KFF/NYT 2025 Survey of Immigrants). Navigating life in a new country is hard enough\, but when state-sanctioned fear is used as a weapon\, communities are paying the price with their mental health\, their safety\, and their lives. \nAs mental health care providers\, community workers\, and neighbors\, we cannot look away. Join Samaritans and a panel of experts for an honest conversation about the trauma and chronic stress immigrants in the U.S. face\, and how to support them. This webinar will: \n\nIdentify how the US immigration system impacts mental health through fear\, hypervigilance\, and dehumanization.\nDiscuss why those at most risk are often the least able to access suicide prevention resources\, and how distrust of systems\, language barriers\, and immigration-related fears keep people from seeking help.\nExplore the power of empathy in allyship to better protect vulnerable individuals. Suicide prevention must include everyone\, and that means confronting unjust policies and conditions. We all play a role in protecting our neighbors.\n\n  \nRegister Now \n  \n  \n \nAlberto Vasallo\, III\n\nAlberto Vasallo\, III is President and CEO of El Mundo Boston\, an iconic Latino multimedia company that has been in the publishing\, broadcasting and large-scale event business for the past 53 years in Boston.

SUMMARY:Virtual SafePlace Meeting for Loss Survivors - Monthly on Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Losing someone to suicide is a painful and difficult experience. Samaritans SafePlace meetings provide a forum for suicide loss survivors to explore feelings not often understood by others. Meetings are facilitated by trained volunteers who have lost someone to suicide. \nSafePlace is not a professional therapy group\, but rather a peer support group offering nonjudgmental listening\, peer connection\, and shared understanding. It offers a chance to share helpful resources\, and to give and get support through the long process of grieving. Meetings are free\, ongoing\, and drop-in. \nWe understand that you may be unsure about discussing your loss in a virtual support group. Please review our Virtual SafePlace FAQs\, which we hope will address any understandable concerns you may have about privacy and the dynamics of a virtual group. \nThis meeting is held: \n\nFirst Saturday of each month\n10:00 am – 11:30 am ET\nAfter you register\, we will follow up with Zoom meeting details.\n\n\nRSVP
