Abstract

ABSTRACT This study explored the influence of the Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), a 14-hour gatekeeper training, on emerging counselors’ self-efficacy in working with individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts. Through a pre-post design, counselor participants from five ASIST trainings were assessed. The results demonstrated a significant increase in self-efficacy among counselors after completing ASIST, underscoring its potential as an effective method for bolstering self-efficacy within counselor training. The implications for counselor preparation are discussed, highlighting the value of integrating ASIST to augment clinicians’ preparedness in addressing suicidal ideation.
