What: LivingWorks' Applied Suicide intervention Skills Training (ASIST)
Duration: 2 consecutive days
Where: Your workplace or community venue
Who: Open to everyone aged 16+
LivingWorks' ASIST is a two-day interactive workshop in suicide first aid. ASIST teaches participants to recognise when someone may have thoughts of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety.
ASIST Makes a Difference
As the world’s leading suicide intervention workshop, ASIST is supported by numerous evaluations including independent and peer-reviewed studies. Results demonstrate that ASIST helps participants become more willing, ready, and able to intervene with someone at risk of suicide. ASIST is proven to reduce suicidality for those at risk.
ASIST Participants
Over 2 million people have taken an ASIST workshop worldwide. People can (and do) use suicide first-aid in many settings: with family, friends, and colleagues, as well as their professional roles. Its widespread use in various communities creates a common language to enable us all to talk about suicide sensitively and confidently.
