Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)

- ASIST is a two day interactive workshop in suicide first-aid. Assist 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. This course has been proven to significantly reduce suicidality.

Learning Objectives:

- Understand the ways 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

Please be aware that the training encourages participants to discuss their own beliefs and feelings around suicide and to take part in role play (practising an intervention like you would in physical first aid).

All participants need to allocate two days (9am-5pm) for this course (you can’t leave early or arrive late) it is crucial participants attend both days in full. LUNCH PROVIDED
