Description

ASIST - Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training - MARCH 2021 About this Training: • Two-day workshop in Suicide Intervention Skills. • Learn and practice a Life-Saving Intervention model. • Widely used by professionals and the general public. ASIST is a two-day interactive workshop in suicide first-aid. ASIST teaches participants to recognize when someone may be at risk of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety. ASIST is a resource for the whole community. It helps people apply suicide first-aid in many settings: with family, friends, co-workers, and teammates, as well as formal care-giving roles. In the course of the two-day workshop, ASIST participants learn to: • Understand the ways personal and societal attitudes affect views on suicide and interventions. • Provide guidance and suicide first-aid to a person at risk; discuss suicide in a direct manner with someone at risk. • Identify the key elements of an effective suicide safety plan and the actions required to implement it with a person at risk of suicide. • Appreciate the value of improving and integrating suicide prevention resources, be able to list types of resources available to a person at risk, including themselves. • Recognize other important aspects of suicide prevention and includes life promotion and self-care for caregivers. A scientifically proven intervention model, ASIST helps build regional networks of trained caregivers who can support each other and use common language to approach suicide and safety.
