ASIST: Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training
Friday, July 22, 2011 at 11:53AM Tuesday, August 30th & Wednesday, August 31st
A two-day workshop for friends, mental health professionals, social workers and all others interested in learning the skills to competently and confidently intervene with a person at risk of suicide.
ASIST is for anyone concerned about the threat of suicide. You need not be a mental health professional to learn and to use these skills. Most people considering suicide share their distress and their intent. Training can help us see and respond to these invitations for help. It can give you the confidence to ask about suicide if you are concerned about someone’s safety. It can provide you with the tools to help prevent the immediate risk of suicide. The emphasis of the ASIST workshop is on suicide first aid--helping a person at risk stay safe and seek further help.
