What is ASIST training?
- LivingWorks ASIST is a two-day in-person workshop featuring powerful audiovisuals, discussions, and simulations.
- At a LivingWorks ASIST workshop, you’ll learn how to recognize when someone may be thinking about suicide, and how to provide a skilled intervention and develop a safety plan with the person to connect them to further support.
- You will also consider how personal and community attitudes about suicide affect someone’s openness to seek help and your ability to provide it.
- This workshop will increase your willingness, confidence, and capacity to provide suicide first aid.
- Two knowledgeable, supportive trainers will guide you through the course, ensuring a comfortable and safe learning environment.
If you have questions about the training, please contact Danielle Williamson at the Turtleford Office or by email.
