ASIST: Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training

APPLIED SUICIDE INTERVENTION SKILLS TRAINING (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.Over the course of your two-day workshop, ASIST participants learn to: * Understand the ways that personal and societal attitudes affect views on suicide and interventions * Provide guidance and suicide first aid to a person at risk in ways that meet their individual safety needs * Identify the key elements of an effective suicide safety plan and the actions required to implement it * Appreciate the value of improving and integrating suicide prevention resources in the community at large * Recognize other important aspects of suicide prevention including life-promotion and self-care Some of the learning will take place in the whole group of participants and some in smaller workgroups. You will learn and practice a model of suicide intervention.  Your workshop trainers will be available to offer support and will work hard to create a learning atmosphere where participants can also encourage and support each other and have some fun.
