Suicide prevention gatekeeper trainings are intended to provide general information to help reduce suicide risk through a training program specifically designed for individuals who are not trained and who are not licensed mental health professionals. University Gatekeeper Program (UGP) Training* is designed to help increase knowledge and awareness of suicide risk and inform attendees about college and community resources.
*The University Gatekeeper Program (UGP) is not a clinical mental health training. It does not teach suicide assessment or intervention strategies, nor is it a comprehensive training on suicide risk.
