About
Don't miss this opportunity to learn the skills to help keep your community safe from suicide. Trusted by professionals yet learnable by anyone, LivingWorks Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is the only workshop of its kind. In this two-day in-person workshop, participants learn a evidence-based suicide intervention model to intervene and help prevent the immediate risk of suicide. Developed in 1982 and regularly evaluated and updated to reflect best-practice in suicide prevention, ASIST has over 30+ peer-reviewed studies proving its ability to reduce thoughts of suicide for those at risk.
Participants in ASIST:
* Learn the skills to provide a suicide first-aid intervention
* Work to develop a personalised safety plan for someone with thoughts of suicide to keep “safe-for-now”
* Connect the person with thoughts of suicide to further help
* Acquire skills in a science-based intervention model, with the assistance of two LivingWorks registered trainers
