ASIST is a 2-day training program that teaches participants how to assist those at risk for suicide. Although many healthcare professionals use ASIST, anyone 16 years or older can use the approach, regardless of professional background.

• At an ASIST workshop, you’ll learn how to recognize when someone may be thinking about suicide, and how to provide a skilled intervention and develop a safety plan with the person to connect them to further support.
• You will also consider how personal and community attitudes about suicide affect someone’s openness to seek help and your ability to provide it.
• This workshop will increase your willingness, confidence, and capacity to provide suicide first aid.
• Two knowledgeable, supportive trainers will guide you through the course, ensuring a comfortable and safe learning environment.
