Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is a two-day face-to-face workshop featuring powerful audiovisuals, discussions, and simulations. At this workshop, you'll learn how to prevent suicide by recognizing signs, providing a skilled intervention, and developing a safety plan to keep someone alive. Day One will provide a baseline for discussion using the film “Cause of Death,” after which participants will be able to discuss their feelings, experiences, and attitudes related to suicide and helping persons at risk. In the afternoon, participants will be introduced to the Pathway for Assisting Life, a 6 step model for intervening in a suicide crisis. On Day Two, participants will gain comfort and familiarity with the Pathway for Assisting Life by engaging in group and one-on-one roleplays. At the end of Day Two, participants will learn ways to engage in helpful and supportive community relationships to aid in the creation of a suicide safer community.
Learning Objectives
The participant will be able to:
- Understand the ways that personal and societal attitudes affect views on suicide and interventions
- Provide guidance and suicide first aid to a person at risk in ways that meet their individual safety needs
- Identify the key elements of an effective suicide safety plan and the actions required to implement it
- Appreciate the value of improving and integrating suicide prevention resources in the community at large
- Recognize other important aspects of suicide prevention including life-promotion and self-care
