More about RRSR

Most mental health clinicians have had little or no formal training in assessing suicide risk, yet they are often called upon to do so. Recognizing and Responding to Suicide Risk: Essential Skills for Clinicians (RRSR) has been developed by the American Association of Suicidology specifically to fill this training gap.

RRSR has several components, including a web-based assessment, four 3-hour virtual training times per session, and continuing education/CME credits for counselors, social workers, and physicians when all four days are fully attended.
