Applied Suicide Intervention Skills (ASIST) Training

This two-day, interactive workshop in suicide first aid teaches how to intervene and save a life from suicide.

ASIST workshop trainees learn how to prevent suicide, provide skilled intervention, and develop a safety plan to keep someone alive. The goal of the training is to help participants to become more ready, willing and able to assist someone who has thoughts of suicide.

This in-person ASIST workshop is led by two facilitators over two days. The knowledge and skills learned through this training are designed to be applied as suicide first aid and as an intervention for those at risk of suicide.

The learning process is based on adult learning principles and highly participatory. Graduated skills development occurs through mini-lectures, facilitated discussions, group simulations and role plays.

This Certificate program is taught by Anne Arundel County Mental Health Agency staff and is a required prerequisite for the upcoming Emergency Response Trauma/Crisis Chaplain training in September 2023.

**Seating is limited with priority given to registrants of the Emergency Response Trauma/Crisis Chaplain Training.
