*Designed for school staff who must renew their Gatekeeper certification every five (5) years, the Advanced Gatekeeper Training deepens suicide prevention skills for the school setting.

This training provides an accessible refresher and deeper dive into suicide prevention in schools. The training will provide up-to-date information regarding suicide, teach basic suicide intervention skills, increase personal confidence and the ability to effectively respond to suicidal behavior, and identify helpful resources available to staff.

The Gatekeeper training is the foundation of the Maine Suicide Prevention Program (MSPP). It provides a thorough overview of suicide in Maine and the US, as well as teaching basic intervention skills and providing resources for appropriate response.
