Learn suicide first aid. The vast majority of those thinking about suicide will find some way to signal their intent. Most suicidal people are looking for another option. They don‘t want to die. But preventing suicide takes two people—a helper and the person at risk. ASIST, a model program developed by Living Works, is designed to help persons in a position of trust become more willing, ready and able to help persons at risk for suicide. Just as ―CPR‖ skills make physical first aid possible, training in suicide intervention develops the skills used in suicide first aid.

ASIST is a two-day intensive, interactive and practice-dominated course designed to help caregivers recognize risk and learn how to intervene to prevent the immediate risk of suicide. Participants receive a 152-page Suicide Intervention Handbook and a full color, tear-resistant pocket card featuring intervention, and risk review and safe plan development principles.

This course is designed for all caregivers including professionals, physicians, teachers, counselors, youth workers, police and correctional staff, school support staff, clergy and community volunteers. Learn to recognize and estimate risk, and become more effective at helping people at risk. The benefits will live on..
