Trusted by professionals, approved by the World Health Organisation and learnable by anyone, LivingWorks Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is the only workshop of its kind. Updated continually to reflect new knowledge, LivingWorks ASIST has been training people to provide suicide first aid interventions for 40 years.

ASIST teaches participants to recognise when someone may be at risk of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety. Although ASIST is widely used by healthcare providers, participants don’t need any formal training to attend the workshop—ASIST can be learned and used by anyone.

LivingWorks ASIST is a two-day in-person workshop featuring powerful audiovisuals, discussions, and simulations.
You will also consider how personal and community attitudes about suicide affect someone’s openness to seek help and your ability to provide it.
This workshop will increase your willingness, confidence, and capacity to provide suicide first aid.

Two knowledgeable, supportive trainers will guide you through the course, ensuring a comfortable and safe learning environment
LivingWorks ASIST workshops can be arranged for your organisation or group, tailored to the needs of your staff, volunteers or members.
