Who is a Gatekeeper?
A gatekeeper is anyone positioned to recognize a crisis and the warning signs that someone may be contemplating suicide. You do not need a medical background to interrupt a crisis and save a life.
Official Certification Course
Evidence-Based Gatekeeper Training.
Just as people trained in CPR save thousands of lives each year, individuals trained as Gatekeepers learn how to recognize the warning signs of a mental health crisis, offer hope, and direct someone safely to professional care.
How does this training aid survival?
Much of the world is familiar with CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)—an emergency medical intervention designed to stabilize individuals in cardiac arrest until specialized clinical help arrives.
This training is the exact same concept, expertly applied to mental health. Established as an evidence-based emergency mental health protocol, the intent is to identify the warning signs early, disrupt the acute psychological crisis, and guide that person directly to proper professional treatment channels.
The Three Steps
Our streamlined training architecture allows you to quickly master the critical sequence of emergency mental health intervention.
1. Question
Learn how to actively identify early behavioral, verbal, and situational warning signs of a suicide crisis, and exactly what direct language to use to safely initiate a supportive conversation.
2. Persuade
Master evidence-based techniques for empathetic, active listening without judgment. Learn how to de-escalate psychological panic and effectively persuade them to accept professional help.
3. Refer
You are not expected to act as a long-term therapist. Learn the crisp organizational handoff protocols required to cleanly connect individuals with emergency care teams, clinical specialists, or helplines.
