- LivingWorks ASIST - Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training - 2 day in-person course

- 29th and 30th October 2025

- 9am - 5pm both days

- Edinburgh, Norton Park Business Conference Centre


LivingWorks ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) is a 2-day interactive workshop in suicide first aid.


What Will You Learn?

LivingWorks ASIST helps learners become willing, ready, and able to intervene with someone who has thoughts of suicide. You will learn to:

• Help someone with thoughts of suicide develop a safety plan to keep safe-for-now and connect with further help

• Apply a Safety Framework to guide the development of this SafePlan through a collaborative, helping

relationship

• Understand how personal and community attitudes about suicide affect someone’s openness to seek help and your ability to provide it

• Build confidence and capacity in providing suicide first aid


Who Should Attend?


Youth Workers, Volunteers and Young Leaders aged 16+ years are encouraged to take LivingWorks ASIST. No previous experience or training is required.

LivingWorks ASIST is training that strengthens your whole community, building a Network of Safety that helps you apply suicide first aid in many settings like schools, homes, workplaces, and as a part of formal caregiving roles.


How Will You Learn?


We aim to provide a safe learning environment. The learning process includes:

• Trainer presentations and powerful videos to stimulate discussion and support learning

• Extensive opportunities for skills practice

• Shared participant experiences that enrich learning

• Trainer-facilitated workgroups to optimise participation


Direct and honest discussion about suicide is encouraged. While sometimes challenging, this prepares helpers to openly approach people with thoughts of suicide, and to help them keep safe.


Where Can You Find Out More?

Close to 1.5 million people have been trained in LivingWorks ASIST world-wide, leading to a growing body

of research and evaluation that supports the value of this training to everyone and informs program improvements.


Youth worker training is in high demand – please help us support youth workers to access the training and development they deserve with these simple steps:


  1. Tell us if you cannot attend more than 24hrs in advance. This allows us to free up the space for another youth worker (many sessions are oversubscribed) and means you will avoid being charged the £25 fee for late-notice cancellation or non-attendance.
  2. Check you can join with camera and microphone. Our online training is engaging, interactive and discussion-based – not a webinar format. Our members regularly tell us this is better learning and we are confident you will gain more.
  3. Eventbrite sends you all your information by email. You will receive your ticket at booking and be sent a reminder – with any login details if online – approximately 24hrs in advance. If there are materials and handouts, your facilitator will send these too.

Thank you for using our training and helping us to continue supporting the needs of our members and community-based youth work.



CANCELLATION POLICY:

A £25 non-attendance fee will be applied where cancellation has not been received in advance of the event(24 hours before the event).

Please note: if you have been charged a fee to attend this training, training fees are non-refundable, where a cancellation has not been received in advance of the event starting.

You/your group will then receive an invoice.
