Overview

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is considered to be the world's leading suicide intervention training program.

Trusted by professionals yet learnable by anyone, this two-day workshop from LivingWorks has been empowering people to have skilled, confident life-saving conversations since 1983, and is updated regularly to reflect new knowledge.

An ASIST workshop is for anyone wanting to get crystal clear about what to say and do if someone is considering suicide, and especially for anyone who:

leads a team or community
is in any role of high pressure or responsibility
works with the public, young people, or any group at risk
is worried about someone in their life

An ASIST workshop lasts two full consecutive days and attendance is required throughout.

It is a challenging and rewarding session (often also described as 'intense' and 'powerful') which discusses suicide in some depth and includes direct teaching, discussion and skills practice.

Participants are gently encouraged to participate as fully as they feel able, to take advantage of this unique learning opportunity.
