Course Description

LivingWorks ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) is a two-day, interactive, skills-based workshop that prepares people to provide suicide first aid using a unique six-task model.

Trusted by professionals yet learnable by anyone, LivingWoks ASIST is the only workshop of its kind. Updated continually to reflect new knowledge, ASIST has been empowering people to provide skilled, life-saving interventions for 40 years. 

ASIST is designed for anyone 16 and old who wants to learn how to prevent suicide by recognizing signs, providing a skilled intervention, and developing a safety plan to keep someone alive.

What Will You Learn?

  • In LivingWorks ASIST you will learn how to help someone thinking about suicide develop a personalized SafePlan to keep safe-for-now and connect with further help.
  • You will learn to apply a Safety Framework to guide the development of this SafePlan through a collaborative helping relationship.
  • 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.
We aim to provide a safe learning environment. The learning process includes:
  • Trainer presentations and powerful videos to stimulate discussion and support learning
  • Extensive opportunities for skills practice
  • Shared participant experiences that enrich learning
  • Trainer-facilitated workgroups to optimize participation
Direct and honest discussion about suicide is encouraged. While sometimes challenging, this prepares helpers to openly approach people with thoughts of suicide, and to help them keep safe.
