This training helps prepare someone who is in the position to recognize someone who may be in crisis. The training is focused on signs of distress and crises, and "provides innovative, practical and proven suicide prevention training" and includes:
- Raising awareness about suicide
- Background information about suicide, with a focus on the college student population
- Dispelling myths and misconceptions
- Teaching 3 skills that can help save a life: Question, Persuade, Refer
