Applied Suicide Intervention Skills (ASIST) Training

We are the largest sexual violence support provider in Wales, with 30 years’ experience of delivering specialist therapeutic support to adults and children affected by the trauma of rape, sexual assault or sexual abuse. As a charitable organisation, we offer a full range of free specialist crisis, advocacy, wellbeing and counselling services. We are widely regarded throughout the UK as a leading organisation in our field. Our dedicated team of over 150 staff and volunteers do everything that they can to ensure that our clients receive an excellent service that meets their needs; we feel that they deserve no less. We support nearly 4,000 people each year.

Beyond that, we use our experience and expertise to train and educate others on the wide-ranging impact of rape and sexual abuse, and use our voice to advocate for those who are often silenced by stigma. Our training department has been delivering expert courses on topics from Working Safely With Trauma to Safeguarding for over 20 years. We have trained thousands of frontline practitioners, volunteers and professionals, and have gained a reputation for excellence in this area. In 2020-2021 alone we trained more than 4400 people, and 99% of course attendees rated the courses ‘very good’ or ‘excellent.’
