3R stands for Recognize, Respond, Refer — a simple, repeatable framework for noticing when someone is struggling, having a caring conversation, and connecting them to help.
Who are these courses for?
Professionals in healthcare, education, social services, and law enforcement — and anyone who wants to be ready to help. No clinical background required.
Do I have to take the courses in order?
We recommend starting with Beginner, then Intermediate, then Advanced. The Beginner course assumes no prior knowledge, so it's a comfortable place to begin.
How are the courses delivered?
Each course is fully online and self-paced, so you can move through the modules on your own schedule.
Will I receive a certificate?
Yes — you'll earn a certificate of completion for each level. The Advanced certification is valid for three years, with a short recertification when it expires.
What does each course cost, and is there a bundle?
Beginner $297, Intermediate $597, and Advanced $1,197. You can also enroll in all three as the Complete 3R Series bundle for $1,797 — a saving over enrolling separately.
How long do I have access to the courses?
You'll have lifetime access to every course you enroll in — revisit the material whenever you need it. You'll also have access to the Lifesavers Community for a minimum of 12 months after your enrollment date.
What's your refund policy?
You'll find full details on our Terms of Service/Privacy Policy page.
Do these courses offer continuing education credits (CEUs)?
Upon completion, CEU's are offered for the Beginner's Course (3), the Intermediate Course (5), and the Advanced Course (8).
What if I'm struggling right now?
You matter, and help is available. Call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or text HOME to 741741. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911.
Can I enroll my staff or team in the 3R Training?
Yes! We now offer 3R training for groups, so your staff can learn to Recognize, Respond, and Refer together. Visit our Teams/Agencies page to learn more.
Is 3R training a good fit for schools, agencies, and departments?
Absolutely. The 3R framework is taught to educators, healthcare workers, social service providers, and first responders. If you'd like to talk about your team's needs, schedule a short Agency Fit Call on our Teams/Agencies page.
How does group enrollment work?
Team leaders can enroll a group of participants in the 3R Series. Each participant receives full course access and membership in the Lifesavers Community. The course includes lifetime access. See our Teams/Agencies page for details.
"The information was very helpful and taught me a lot that I can use to help others whom I may see the signs of suicide in but did not know what to say to them before I learned about the different ways to approach them." Eboni Thomas, MSW, Street Wise Partners of Michigan
