ASIST Suicide Prevention (Two-Day Class)

Most people who die by suicide (in particular young people and men) are not in the healthcare system. Therefore when they are thinking about suicide, they are at home, in the workplace and/or community. This means we need a whole-of-community approach to protect them from suicide. Although many healthcare professionals use ASIST, anyone 18 years or older can use the approach, regardless of professional background.

• LivingWorks ASIST is a two-day in-person workshop featuring powerful audiovisuals, discussions, and simulations. This course will be hosted by Sertoma Star Services.

• The class will be held on February 21st and February 22nd, 2025 from 9:00AM-5:00PM both days. Participants must attend both days.

• At a LivingWorks ASIST workshop, you’ll learn how to recognize when someone may be thinking about suicide, and how to provide a skilled intervention and develop a safety plan with the person to connect them to further support.

• You will also consider how personal and community attitudes about suicide affect someone’s openness to seek help and your ability to provide it.

• This workshop will increase your willingness, confidence, and capacity to provide suicide first aid.

• Knowledgeable, supportive trainers will guide you through the course, ensuring a comfortable and safe learning environment.
