SCSC - ASIST



The Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) workshop is for anyone who want to feel more comfortable, confident and competent in helping to prevent the immediate risk of suicide. Just as "CPR" skills make physical first aid possible, training in suicide intervention develops the skills needed for life assisting suicide first aid. ASIST is a two-day intensive, interactive and practice-dominated course designed to help anyone learn how to intervene to prevent the immediate risk of suicide and provide safety-for-now. The workshop is designed for any person over age 15 in a position of trust. This includes professionals, paraprofessionals and lay people. It is suitable for mental health professionals, nurses, physicians, pharmacists, teachers, counselors, youth workers, police and correctional staff, school support staff, clergy, and community volunteers. In ASIST, sophisticated helping concepts are translated into generic language so that different types of caregivers can learn together. ASIST is the most widely used suicide intervention training program in the world. Additional information is available online at http://www.livingworks.net. TESS components addressed for this workshop include: 1B, 1D, 3A, 4C, and 4F.
