Suicide Prevention 101, formerly known as 'Gatekeeper', is a 2 to 2.5 hour in-person training, using data specific to Northern Nevada. This training increases one's knowledge and understanding of suicide, to recognize warning signs, to identify risk and protective factors, and to increase willingness and ability to intervene with a person at risk for suicide.
