Virtual Training
As part of The American Legion Be The One mission to end veteran suicide, we have joined forces with Columbia University to develop training for those who want to learn more about interacting and responding with veterans who may be in crisis. Members of the American Legion Family are encouraged to take in this training, which will be available virtually, and share the training with tier communities. Sessions currently are available; check this page or subscribe to The American Legion Online Update newsletter for the dates and times, and to receive information about new training opportunities as they become available.
