ASIST Two Day Workshop
Join us for the ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) workshop, an engaging and practical two-day event designed to equip you with lifesaving intervention skills. This in-person experience offers hands-on learning with expert guidance, helping you confidently support those in crisis. Don't miss this chance to make a real difference!
The Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) workshop is for caregivers who want to feel more comfortable, confident, and competent in helping to prevent the immediate risk of suicide. Over two million caregivers have received this training ASIST is a two-day intensive, interactive, and practice-dominated course designed to help caregivers learn how to intervene to prevent the immediate risk of suicide and provide safety-for-now. Just as "CPR" skills make physical first aid possible, training in suicide intervention develops the skills needed for life assisting suicide first aid.
The workshop is designed for all caregivers (any person over 16 in a position of trust). This includes professionals, para-professionals, and lay people. It is suitable for mental health professionals, nurses, physicians, pharmacists, teachers, counselors, youth workers, police and correctional staff, school support staff, clergy, and community volunteers. In ASIST, sophisticated helping concepts are translated into generic language so that different types of caregivers can learn together. ASIST is the most widely used suicide intervention training program in the world. Additional information including CEU resources is available online at http://www.livingworks.net.
Safety considerations: Persons who have experienced recent suicide behavior or loss may find it helpful to wait until healing has occurred before taking this course. Sometimes, personal experience gets in the way of learning to help others. We aim to create a safe learning environment for all. Help is available 24 hrs/day, 7 days/wk by calling 1-844-534-4673 or 1-844-534-HOPE, or by texting HOPE to 4HOPE (44673).
