Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training ASIST – In-person – 2 days

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is a two day course next offered Jan 18 & 19 2023.  ASIST is for everyone 16 or older, regardless of prior experience, who wants to be able to provide suicide first aid. Shown by major studies to significantly reduce suicidality, the ASIST model teaches effective intervention skills while helping to build suicide prevention networks in the community.

During the two-day interactive session, participants learn to intervene and help prevent the immediate risk of suicide. Over 1,000,000 people have taken the workshop, and studies have proven that the ASIST method helps reduce suicidal feelings for those at risk.
