Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training

Event date: This event has already passed.

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is a FREE 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. Although ASIST is widely used by healthcare providers, participants don’t need any formal training to attend the workshop—anyone 16 or older can learn and use the ASIST model.

Since its development in 1983, ASIST has received regular updates to reflect improvements in knowledge and practice, and over 1,000,000 people have taken the workshop. Studies show that the ASIST method helps reduce suicidal feelings in those at risk and is a cost-effective way to help address the problem of suicide.

Hosted by SpeakUp ReachOut Wednesday, March 30th and Thursday, March 31st from 8:00am – 5:00pm. Attendance is required both days from 8:00am – 5:00pm. Lunch will be provided each day.
