ASIST 11 Training 2014
ASIST is designed to help all caregivers become more willing, ready and able to help persons at risk. Suicide can be prevented with the help of prepared caregivers.
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 recognise risk and learn how to intervene to prevent the immediate risk of suicide.
The workshop is for all caregivers (any person in a position of trust). This includes professionals, paraprofessionals and lay people. It is suitable for mental health professionals, nurses, physicians, pharmacists, teachers, counsellors, youth workers, police and correctional staff, school support staff, clergy, community volunteers and the general public.

ASIST has five learning sections:

  • Preparing: sets the tone, norms, and expectations of the learning experience.
  • Connecting: sensitises participants to their own attitudes towards suicide. Creates an understanding of the impact, which attitudes have on the intervention process.
  • Understanding: overviews the intervention needs of a person at risk. It offers unique opportunities to learn new, more collaborative ways to help persons at risk keep safe.
  • Assisting: presents a Pathway for Assisting Life (PAL). Participants develop their skills through observation and supervised simulation experiences in large and small groups.
  • Working Together: encourages participants to think about their relationships with people at risk, as well as the relationship people at risk might have with a suicide safer community.
  • You could also host an in memory of for your event. 
  • Lots of our donations come from supporters who fundraise in memory of a loved one or friend.   Whether you’re doing a challenge, throwing an event, or just want to collect donations, you can set up an In Memory page through Just Giving. Find out more here -

ASIST is a 2-day workshop which runs from 9am – 5pm both days and attendance on both days is essential.
