The PER335 course is a 16-hour in-person class that addresses the vulnerability of any community to a public safety situation, such as an active shooter at a shopping mall; a train derailment with hazardous chemicals; a bombing incident at a commercial district; a plane crash; or chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive attack. These complex coordinated attacks involve multiple threats that often exceed conventional response tactics. The attacks require a joint response involving members from varying disciplines and jurisdictions.

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is a two-day interactive workshop designed to equip participants with practical skills to identify, intervene, and support individuals at risk of suicide. ASIST teaches participants how to recognize warning signs, engage in meaningful conversations, and develop a safety plan to help someone in crisis. The training is suitable for anyone, regardless of prior experience, and provides a structured yet flexible model that enhances confidence and competence in suicide prevention.

Hybrid format: limited attendees in MARC’s Board Room with a remote option via Zoom.

Meetings are typically held on the fourth Tuesday of each month, but may be adjusted to accommodate holidays.
