Equip your group to save lives with this interactive Suicide Prevention Game Show - gatekeeper-style psychoeducation for teens and adults, designed for trained facilitators in classrooms, trainings, and clinical settings. Teams bust the myths that keep people silent, learn the verbal and behavioral warning signs, practice asking the direct question and responding without judgment, connect people to 988 and real-world helpers with a warm handoff, and learn how to keep showing up afterward. Follows safe-messaging principles: no graphic content, hope and help-seeking throughout. For facilitated psychoeducation only - if anyone is in crisis, pause the activity and connect them with help (call or text 988 in the US).
Use the interactive PowerPoint during individual or group therapy, or print the included question cards for a flexible, screen-free activity.
