The Intervene Challenge

Large Suicide Intervention Training Class Taught by Ken Koon

The Intervene Challenge is a one-day suicide intervention training event utilizing the Listen Learn Lead Model of Suicide Intervention developed by Army Chaplain Kenneth “Lou” Koon. Lou has conducted more than 2,000 successful suicide interventions in both the military and civilian communities. Today he teaches those skills to groups and individuals from all walks of life.

Our training offers CEUs for mental health professionals and POST credit for law enforcement.

“I have participated in the Intervene Challenge training multiple times; it's that good. In the first hour your awareness goes through the roof. You begin to think about people you know, family and friends, you should probably have a caring conversation with. Rapport is built and deepened with each step. This is more than suicide intervention training; It’s LIFE training.“

Chaplain Adrien Neely
Executive Director, Atlanta Airport Chapel
“As the Crisis Intervention Team Leader, I have attended countless intervention trainings. Unlike the others, the Intervene Challenge uniquely teaches the one sign that is always present, and most often missed, when there are no others. It is a training all people should take. I call Ken for all our required intervention training. And when my church asked for a recommendation, I gave them three words: The Intervene Challenge.”

“As a licensed marriage and family therapist I appreciated the straightforward, realistic, ‘no psychobabble” approach’ in this workshop, and the focus on how as a community we can do something NOW to reduce suicides.”

Jill Hastings Storer, PhD
“For more than 10 years, often multiple times annually, we host The Intervene Challenge, because it’s that good. Make the call."
