Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)

Jun 13th, 2022

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is a two-day interactive workshop in suicide first aid. ASIST teaches participants to recognize when someone may have thoughts of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety. It is by far the most widely used, acclaimed and researched suicide intervention training workshop in the world. Although ASIST is widely used by healthcare providers, participants don’t need any formal training to attend the workshop—anyone 18 or older can learn and use the ASIST model. This workshop is valid for 14 Class ‘A’ Continuing Competency credits for Social Workers.
