Faith leaders serving in both congregational and unique ministry settings, such as hospital, civil, and military chaplaincy, may lack sufficient training in counseling and suicide intervention to provide safe, effective support. These competencies, developed in partnership with faith community leaders and suicide prevention experts, equip faith leaders with the capabilities needed to prevent suicide and provide care and comfort to all those affected by suicide.
