ASIST is a two-day intensive, practice-dominated workshop designed to help caregivers recognize and review risk, and to connect persons to professional helping resources.  It is an evidenced-based program used world-wide to create suicide safer communities (visit www.livingworks.net for more information). 

 

What will I learn?  ASIST prepares caregivers of all kinds to provide suicide first aid interventions. Professionals, volunteers and informal helpers all need to know how to help persons with thoughts of suicide in ways that increase their suicide safety.  As an ASIST-trained first aid intervention caregiver, you will be better able to:

·          Identify people who have thoughts of suicide

·          Understand how your beliefs and attitudes can affect suicide interventions

·          Seek a shared understanding of the person at risk’s reasons for suicidal thoughts

·          Review risk and develop a plan to increase safety from suicidal behavior for an agreed amount of time

·          Follow-up on all safety commitments, accessing further help as needed

 

Participation in the full two-days is required. Enjoy small group discussions and skills practice that are based upon adult learning principles; experience powerful videos on suicide intervention.  Participants will feel challenged and safe, and confident in their ability to provide suicide intervention.
