Ask About Suicide to Save a Life

Texas Suicide Prevention Council’s AS+K? About Suicide to Save a Life is a best practice informed suicide prevention curriculum.

This suicide prevention program teaches lifesaving skills:

• Ask About Suicide: Recognize suicidal risks, thoughts and behaviors.

• Seek More Information About the Individual: their risk factors, warning signs and protective factors

• Safety First!

• Secure Access to Lethal Means

• Know How and Where to Refer someone at risk to care

Like CPR or the Heimlich maneuver, the fundamentals of AS+K? are easily learned. And like CPR and the Heimlich maneuver, the application of AS+K? may save a life.

AS+K? About Suicide to Save a Life:

• Is intended to offer hope through positive action, (not a form of counseling or treatment).

• Teaches the public to recognize the warning signs, clues and suicidal communications of people in psychological distress and what action to take to prevent a possible tragedy.

Workshops are open to any interested individuals, faith based groups, professionals, or community groups.
