➡️Please register for the LivingWorks Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST). https://scsmh.education.uiowa.edu/event/37268/0
LivingWorks ASIST is a two-day interactive workshop in suicide first-aid. ASIST teaches participants to recognize when someone may have thoughts of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety. As the world’s leading suicide intervention workshop, LivingWorks’ ASIST program is supported by numerous evaluations, including independent and peer-reviewed studies.
Results demonstrate that ASIST helps participants become more willing, ready, and able to intervene. Although ASIST is widely used by health care providers, participants don’t need any formal training to attend the workshop — ASIST can be learned and used by anyone.
