Abstract
Psychosocial assessments and treatments are effective for a range of
psychological problems.
One particular area of concern is youth suicide.

youth suicide risk assessment training.
SAMHT's interactive avatar interface is based on an intelligent backend,
and provides a believable interaction that is effective for training
mental health professionals.
