A Note From Your Suicide Prevention Coordinator:
Hello, SIO & ASIST trained soldiers!
Thank you for accepting the responsibility of being trained in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST). If you have been appointed as your unit’s Suicide Intervention Officer (SIO), your unit should have drafted a memo stating your appointment as an SIO. If this memo has not been submitted, please send a copy to anna.m.murrin.ctr@army.mil, as we are required to keep them on file. A sample appointment memo can be found here.
Below is a list of attachments that can help further your interest in building resiliency and help you get ideas for short briefs during drill.
Thank you again for your involvement with suicide prevention in the Idaho National Guard! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments.
V/R,
Anna Murrin
