Suicide Prevention Advocates (SPA)
SPA is a team of ASIST-certified and trained volunteers who provide support to those who have attempted suicide. SPA volunteers offer compassion to clients and families after a suicide attempt has occurred. REPS receives referrals from UCHealth Emergency Department as well as from individuals who seek an extra layer of support on an ongoing basis.
Become a SPA Volunteer
In order to be considered a candidate of the SPA Program, several trainings are required to become involved.
These two courses include QPR (Question, Persuade and Refer) and LivingWorks safeTALK. In addition, a two day Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) workshop is encouraged.
