Special Note

Overview

Suicide prevention training often relies on generalized, one-size-fits-all models that may not address individual learner needs or emotional states.

These approaches limit engagement and effectiveness, especially for high-risk or emotionally vulnerable learners.

The Problem

GAIMA (Generative AI for Micro-Tailored Adaptation) personalizes resilience and suicide prevention training content using learner archetypes, emotional profiles, and situational context.

The Product

To improve engagement, relevance, and early risk detection while maintaining traumainformed design and ethical AI oversight.
