CPD Opportunity INTERVENTION TRAINING

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) ASIST is a two-day interactive workshop in suicide first-aid. ASIST teaches participants to recognize 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.

ASIST makes a difference

Goals and objectives

As the world’s leading suicide intervention workshop, LivingWorks’ ASIST program is supported by numerous evaluations including independent and peer-reviewed studies. Results demonstrate that ASIST helps participants become more willing, ready, and able to intervene with someone at risk of suicide.

In the course of the two-day workshop, ASIST participants learn to: • Understand the ways 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

ASIST is also proven to reduce suicidality for those at risk. A 2013 study that monitored over 1,500 suicidal callers to crisis lines found that callers who spoke with ASIST-trained counselors were 74% less likely to be suicidal after the call, compared to callers who spoke with counselors trained in methods other than ASIST. Callers were also less overwhelmed, less depressed, and more hopeful after speaking with ASIST-trained counselors.

Cost: $450 + GST per person.

INTERVENTION TRAINING

Workshop Process ASIST is based on adult learning principles. Valuing participants’ contributions and experiences, it encourages them to take an active role in the learning process. ASIST’s key features include: Small-group learning

To facilitate involvement, participants spend over half the workshop in a small group with one of the trainers.

Audiovisual aid

High-quality slides, diagrams, and videos help participants understand and memorize concepts.

Training focus

Some participants may have previous personal or professional experience with suicide or intervention. ASIST builds on these experiences to contribute to the overall learning goal—providing suicide first-aid.

Reliable, proven model

Workshop activities are structured around the ASIST intervention model and provide applicable, hands-on skills practice.

Emphasis on individual needs

Participants learn to adapt to the specific circumstances of a person at risk and work collaboratively to help them stay safe.

Perspective matters

Participants are encouraged to reflect on and share their own attitudes about suicide and suicide intervention. This helps them understand how their perspectives may affect their role in providing help to a person at risk.

Direct approach

By encouraging honest, open, and direct talk about suicide, ASIST helps prepare to discuss the topic with a person at risk.

Adaptable components

ASIST trainers can tailor certain features of the program, such as role-playing activities, to meet participants’ professional or cultural needs.
