Summary

Primary Hypothesis: Participants in the Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) gatekeeper training will be significantly more likely to have increased knowledge and preparedness to help people with suicidal ideation than participants who receive the resilience retreat. Secondary Hypotheses: 1. Participants in ASIST gatekeeper training will not have higher levels of post-intervention distress or suicidal ideation compared to the resilience retreat. 2. High levels of distress, grief, and alcohol abuse will significantly impact on the learning and retention of suicide intervention skills.
