Which training focuses on recognizing depression and maintaining relationships to prevent suicide?

• A. Suicide prevention training
• B. Stressor-outcome model
• C. Social-supports model
• D. Actual danger

Answer: (A)

The training described is suicide prevention training. It’s designed to equip people with the skills to spot signs of depression and other risk factors, know how to respond in a supportive, nonjudgmental way, and maintain or strengthen relationships to keep someone safe and connect them to help. This approach directly targets recognizing mental health struggles and using social connection as a protective factor to prevent a crisis.

Stressor-outcome models focus on how stressors lead to outcomes rather than on teaching intervention skills. The social-supports model emphasizes the protective role of having supportive relationships, but it isn’t specifically the training that teaches how to recognize depression and intervene to prevent suicide. The idea of actual danger refers to imminent risk rather than a training program.
