About ASIST:
Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is a two-day, in person workshop with a standardized curriculum designed to develop “suicide first aid” skills. It teaches participants to recognize when someone may have thoughts of suicide, to discuss suicide in a direct manner with that person, and how to intervene and work with the person to create a plan that supports their immediate safety. The training is based on a person-centered prevention model: Rather than guiding people-at-risk through a predetermined pathway to safety, the model supports the person in developing their own safety plan using personal and community resources. The training courses are available to anyone over the age of 16 concerned with the immediate safety of people at risk of suicide; no prior experience or education is required.
ASIST can also provide those in formal helping roles with professional development: Continuing Education Units (CEU) are available to workshop participants.
How It Works:
The ASIST model involves an assessment of suicide risk and the development of a “safeplan,” based on present and future risk, available resources, and the needs of the person at risk. The 2-day workshop is interactive and includes audiovisual aids, discussions in large and small groups, and skills practice and development.
What's Included:
Light breakfast, snacks, lunch and beverages will be provided both days, as part of the $50 registration fee. This registration fee also holds your spot as there is limited capacity.
