BHWC plays a critical role in maximizing a students’ educational potential by helping them deal with barriers to learning stemming from emotional or personal concerns. BHWC allows students to get the most of their professional education.

Ask/Listen/Refer (ALR)
ATSU’s suicide prevention training program, Ask/Listen/Refer, was designed to help students prevent suicide by teaching students to: identify people at risk for suicide; recognize the risk factors, protective factors, and warning signs of suicide; and respond to and get help for people at risk. To take the ALR course go to: http://www.asklistenrefer.org/atsu and complete the self-spaced online training.
Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR)
QPR is a 1 hour certification training that helps individuals assist someone experiencing or developing thoughts of suicide. Just like CPR, QPR is an emergency response to someone in crisis and can save lives. QPR is the most widely taught Gatekeeper training in the world.
