University Gatekeeper Program (UGP) Suicide Prevention Trainings
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.
Gatekeeper Training* is designed to help increase knowledge and awareness of suicide risk and inform attendees about college and community resources.
*A Gatekeeper Training 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.
Who Can be UGP Trained?
UNO offers training to all students, faculty, and staff.
How long is a UGP Training?
Gatekeeper Suicide Prevention Trainings are 105 minutes in length. The University Gatekeeper Program also can offer a tailored version depending on the needs of the group or organization requesting training.
It is highly encouraged to complete the 105-minute training. All students, faculty, and staff can benefit from learning skills to help someone in crisis.
The University Gatekeeper Program (UGP) also offers a 15-minute informational session.
