ASIST - Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training

ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) is a two-day training designed for members of ALL care-giving groups to improve their abilities to intervene with a person at risk of suicide until either the immediate danger of suicide is reduced or when additional assistance or resources can be accessed.

5. Demonstrate required skills to intervene with a person at risk of suicide.
