The LivingWorks ASIST Experience
- LivingWorks ASIST is a two-day in-person workshop featuring powerful audiovisuals, discussions, and simulations.
- At a LivingWorks ASIST workshop, you'll learn how to recognize when someone may be thinking about suicide, and how to provide a skilled intervention and develop a safety plan with the person to connect them to further support.
- You will also consider how personal and community attitudes about suicide affect someone's openness to seek help and your ability to provide it.
- This workshop will increase your willingness, confidence, and capacity to provide suicide first aid. Two knowledgeable, supportive trainers will guide you through the course, ensuring a comfortable and safe learning environment.
This internationally recognized training, valued at $350, is a fantastic opportunity for professional development.
Even if you haven't completed the SafeTALK training, you're still welcome and encouraged to attend.
Upon completion of the workshop you will receive a LivingWorks ASIST Certificate
