Abstract

This study explored the mental health influence on resident assistants associated with their training in suicide prevention and their subsequent role as campus mental health gatekeepers. Despite considerable prior personal experience with their own suicidal thinking as well as with others who have thoughts of suicide, a multiple regression analysis revealed that resident assistants in this study appear resilient to situational stress experienced with resident mental health interventions. Implications for campus gatekeeper training are discussed. © NASPA 2015.
