Abstract
Suicide is the 7th leading cause of death in Colorado. Gatekeeper training is essential for community prevention efforts. Brief Suicide Intervention Training (BSIT) is presented here as an alternative to QPR with each element in the training suggested by prior research. Evaluation results show significant gains in confidence to intervene.
