(OR) ASIST Training

Become trained in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST).

ASIST is a two-day, interactive workshop that teaches participants how to recognize when someone may have thoughts of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety. You don't have to be a professional in mental health to make a difference. ASIST is a globally recognized suicide intervention training program. Learn practical, life saving skills in a supportive environment.

What to Expect: 

• Learning suicide first-aid skills and how to focus on "safety-for-now." 

• Exploring our personal attitudes, beliefs, and experiences surrounding suicide. 

• Opportunities to practice these skills with the support of your peers and trainers. 

Please note that full attendance for both days is required unless there is an emergency situation.
