Suicide Prevention Training
Recognize – Respond – Refer
We know that suicide is preventable, and we know that everyone can help in doing this work. This is why there is a training available for students and for faculty/staff in learning the signs and how to respond when you’re concerned about someone experiencing suicidal thoughts.
Recognize, Respond, Refer (RRR) is a suicide prevention/gatekeeper training that teaches non-mental health professionals the knowledge and skills needed to recognize signs of distress and make referrals to appropriate resources. This is a core component of a comprehensive suicide prevention strategy.
Below you’ll find that there are two separate trainings: one for students and one for faculty/staff. Click on the button that aligns with your role on campus to learn more about your training.
Additionally, you’ll find more resources on behalf of the Universities of Wisconsin in regards to the Recognize, Respond, Refer training here:
