- Abstract
This article describes the design, implementation and evaluation of a suicide risk assessment and management training for professionals working in institutions of higher education in Puerto Rico. We conducted a quasiexperimental design with 39 professionals in counseling, psychology and social work. Statistically significant differences were found between pre and post-tests, t (38) = -9.281, p = 0. Results suggest that an evidencebased training that follows the core competencies and includes practical exercises, increases the knowledge and intervention skills of mental health professionals in the assessment and management of suicide risk.
