VIRTual hUman prEvention (VIRTUE) is a training program that helps adults learn how to talk to youth about suicide.

The VIRTUE training program uses a virtual human to act as the youth, allowing users to practice these conversations in a private and safe environment where they can make mistakes and learn without risking harm to real youth. The training guides users through the conversation step-by-step and gives immediate feedback to improve their skills.

VIRTUE offers two types of training:

1) One for talking with a non-binary neurotypical youth.

2) One for talking with a non-binary Autistic youth.
