Recognize warning signs
Engage with empathy
Ask directly about suicide
Communicate hope
Help suicidal individuals access care and treatment

OSUSPP only offers in-person REACH© Trainings to university and student affiliated organizations, departments, colleges, and programs.  Participants who finish the training receive certificates and pins verifying their completion of the program.

    I have read the REACH© Training FAQs AND I understand that REACH© Training content and experience is aligned with standard best practices and recommendations for suicide prevention gatekeeper trainings, which includes sharing statistics, stories surrounding suicide, and interactive role plays. I also recognize the importance of supporting the emotional and mental well-being of everyone in attendance and that it is not a best practice to mandate that any student, staff, or faculty be REACH© Trained.
