About R.A.C.E. Suicide Prevention Training

 The complete R.A.C.E. Suicide Prevention training is three 1-hour sessions delivered over three consecutive weeks.  Each session is a prerequisite for attendance at subsequent sessions.  Active participation is encourage and assigned “homework” encourages practice of skills learned during the training.  

The acronym R.A.C.E. stands for:

  • Recognize signs of distress
  • Ask the person about what they are thinking and feeling
  • Care for the person and actively listen to them
  • Escort the person based on their needs

The R.A.C.E. model for suicide prevention has been used throughout the United States Marine Corps for many years.  The model stands out among others because it includes an important aspect of suicide prevention that other models do not; that is Recognize signs of distress.

Navigating a Mental Health Crisis

When mental illness is present, the potential for crisis is never far from mind. Crisis episodes related to mental illness can feel incredibly overwhelming. There’s the initial shock, followed by a flood of questions — the most prominent of which is: “What can we do?”

People experiencing mental illness — and the people who care for them — need information. However, that information is not always readily available and the search for answers may require more energy and persistence than possible in times of crisis.

"Navigating a Mental Health Crisis: A NAMI Resource Guide for Those Experiencing a Mental Health Emergency" (Crisis Guide) provides important, potentially life-saving information for people experiencing mental health crises and their loved ones. This guide outlines what can contribute to a crisis, warning signs that a crisis is emerging, strategies to help de-escalate a crisis, available resources and so much more.

Talking With Kids About Suicide

  Suicide prevention may be an uncomfortable topic to discuss with children and adolescents. However, much like sex and intimacy, domestic violence and substance misuse, the topic can have serious consequences if left unaddressed.  


 Discussing suicide with children and adolescents can help them better respond to those thoughts and ask for help, whether for themselves or for friends. Both younger and older children may need different approaches to help them understand suicide.
