Event Details

Event Description

2-Day Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) Tickets, Sat, Oct 21, 2023 at 8:30 AM | Eventbrite

This 2-day in-person ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) workshop is for staff who work with school-age youth. Attending both days consecutively in person is required in order to complete this training.

ASIST is an in-depth, two-day workshop that prepares individuals to provide suicide first aid intervention using LivingWorks’ evidence-based Pathway for Assisting Life (PAL) model. It teaches participants to recognize when someone may have thoughts of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety. It is recommended that each school building have at least two people that are ASIST trained (larger buildings would benefit from having more people trained).

Recommended participants include school administrators, counselors, social workers, deans of students, mental health specialists, behavior specialists, special education educators, wellness room support staff, and others in student support roles.

NOTE: Due to the interactive nature of this training, LivingWorks sets a strict training capacity for ASIST. This event is currently at capacity, and new registrations will be added to a waitlist. For those those able to attend at a later date, the following events still have space remaining:

Register for ASIST February 22-23
