Surveyed 186 high school counselors to assess their perceived self-efficacy in recognizing students at risk for suicide. Most counselors believed it was their role to recognize students at risk, however, only one in three believed they could recognize a student at risk. High efficacy-expectations significantly related to working at a high school with a crisis intervention team. (SM)
