Training Institute

The Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) has established a Training Institute which provides quality training and curricula to develop and strengthen suicide prevention programs in state, tribal, and local organizations as well as increasing their ability to respond effectively to individuals who are suicidal. The trainings are based on “core competencies,” which encompass the knowledge, skills, and attitudes or perceptions that are required for the clinical evaluation, formulation of risk, treatment planning, and management of individuals at risk for suicide, to protect their lives and promote their well-being.
