Community Training
1st Responder Training on how to engage veterans with PTS are available. Assisting with being able to identify veterans experiencing PTS and properly handle the situation can prevent any unfortunate consequences or possible loss of a veteran’s or civilian’s life (contingent upon available funding). Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is available for Lutz Buddy Up Davie members provided by U.S. Southern Command. ASIST is a two-day workshop designed for family, friends, and other community members who may be the first to talk with a person at risk, but have little or no training.
