Request a Suicide Prevention Training! If you would like to request a suicide prevention training for your Tribe or Tribal staff in WA, OR, or ID, please contact Colbie Caughlan at or by phone at 503-416-3284. Three different trainings are available as well as suicide prevention presentations or awareness activities:
o QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) - This is a 1.5 - 2 hour training for anyone who may come in contact with a person thinking about suicide.
o safeTALK (Suicide Awareness for Everyone) - This is a 3 - 3.5 hour training that is similar to QPR in that it is for anyone who may come in contact with a person thinking about suicide. For QPR & safeTALK, participants become suicide prevention gatekeepers and learn what the signs of suicide may be and how to link a person to proper resources or to a person with intervention skills training.
o ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) - This is a full two day workshop that focuses on teaching participants intervention skills that they may need to be a caregiver of someone thinking about suicide. This is not a counseling treatment model but can be a wonderful supplement to skills that counselors and mental health professionals already possess. It is also a very effective workshop for those who may already understand the signs of suicide but who would like a little bit more training on how to really review a person’s risk of suicide and how to help them get more help.
