Our course is full at this time. However, please contact us with your name and email to get added to our waiting list. Due to popular demand, we may consider offering this course again later in the year. Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is a two-day interactive workshop in suicide first aid. ASIST teaches participants to recognize when someone may have thoughts of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety. Although healthcare providers widely use ASIST, participants don’t need formal training to attend the workshop—anyone 18 or older can learn and use the ASIST model.
Throughout their two-day workshop, ASIST participants learn to:
~Recognize that caregivers and people are affected by personal and societal attitudes about suicide;
~Provide life-assisting guidance to a person flexibly thinking about suicide;
~Identify what needs to be in a person thinking about suicide’s plan for safety;
~Demonstrate the skills required to provide suicide first aid to a person thinking about suicide;
~Appreciate the value of improving community resources, including the way that they work together; and,
~Recognize that suicide prevention is broader than suicide intervention and includes life promotion and self-care for people thinking about suicide and for caregivers.
