ASIST is a two-day workshop designed for individuals interested in learning more about suicide prevention. In this evidence-based training, you will learn suicide first-aid techniques to help a person with thoughts of suicide stay safe and seek further help as needed. Participants learn to use a suicide intervention model to:

• Identify persons with thoughts of suicide
• Seek a shared understanding of reasons for dying and living
• Develop a safe plan based upon a review of risk
• Prepare for follow-up
• Become involved in suicide-safer community networks

This class is primarily offered for First Responders and their family members aged 16 or older wanting to make their community safer from suicide!
