Zero Suicide

Wisconsin Zero Suicide Training 2026

We will open up applications for our 2026 training in the spring of 2026. Sign up for the PSW Newsletter for updates!

Mental Health America of Wisconsin, with support through a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Division of Care and Treatment Services, is inviting applications from eligible entities to participate in the 13^th Annual WI Zero Suicide Training (WZST) and subsequent Community of Practice.

Please see the Call for Applications for eligibility, training description, expectations, and more.

Note: The WZST is a training for people in health or behavioral health care organizations who will be working on ZS quality improvement as a team, not a skills training for individuals. See Suicide Care Trainings for Individuals for information on those types of opportunities!

Dates

TBD for 2026

Live Online via Zoom

The training, including presentation of content and interactive implementation planning, will be hosted virtually on Zoom. If there is anything that prohibits you from accessing Zoom as the platform for this training, please contact Cara Hansen at cara@mhawisconsin.org.
