Suicide Prevention Advocates (SPA) is a team of ASIST-certified and trained volunteers who provide support to those who are struggling with suicide ideation, have attempted suicide, or have lost a loved one to suicide. SPA volunteers offer compassion and support to clients and families. REPS receives referrals from UCHealth Yampa Valley Medical Center Emergency Department as well as from individuals who seek an extra layer of support on an ongoing basis.

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.
