Suicide is a serious public health problem, and training in suicide prevention has not kept pace with recent rapid growth of the field. ⋯ Online training is a valuable option to help meet suicide prevention training needs employing flexible, easy-to-use, and inexpensive Internet technology. With its growing presence in the field, NCSPT will continue to develop new courses to improve the ability of professionals and community-based coalitions to reduce suicide and its devastating impact on public health.
