LivingWorks ASIST is a two-day in-person workshop featuring powerful audiovisuals, discussions, and stimulations. You will 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.
