ASIST 2-Day Training
ASIST 11 Workshop English - 2 Day
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. Although ASIST is widely used by healthcare providers, participants do not need any formal training to attend the workshop - anyone 16 or older can learn and use the ASIST model.
Over the course of their 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
Workshop features:
-Presentations and guidance from two LivingWorks registered trainers
-A scientifically proven intervention model
-Powerful audio-visual learning aids
-Group discussions
-Skills practice and development
-A balance of challenge and safety
ASIST helps to build regional networks of trained caregivers who can support each other and use common terminology to approach suicide and safety.
