Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)Workshop- March 2025

ASIST Training Workshop-March 2025

Join us for an exciting two-day in-person ASIST Training in March 2025 at the Marina Village Conference Center.

ASIST, or Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training, is a comprehensive and highly interactive two-day workshop created by LivingWorks to teach participants how to intervene effectively with individuals who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts. This training is designed to provide participants with the skills necessary to recognize signs that someone might be considering suicide and to take immediate, supportive action to intervene.

Key Features of ASIST:

• Skill-building: Participants learn how to conduct a suicide intervention, focusing on how to listen effectively, ask the right questions, and assess the level of risk.
• Safety planning: The course guides participants through creating a safety plan with individuals in distress, connecting them to appropriate professional support.
• Focus on attitudes: ASIST also helps participants reflect on how personal and societal attitudes about suicide influence the willingness to seek help and provide effective support.
• Supportive trainers: The course is led by four experienced, knowledgeable trainers who create a safe and supportive learning environment.
• Improved confidence: By the end of the course, participants are expected to have increased confidence and readiness to offer suicide first aid.
