LivingWorks ASIST is a two-day, two-trainer, workshop designed for members of all caregiving groups. Family, friends, and other community members may be the first to talk with a person at risk, but have little or no training. ASIST can also provide those in formal helping roles with professional development to ensure that they are prepared to provide suicide first aid help as part of the care they provide.
The emphasis is on teaching suicide first-aid to help a person at risk stay safe and seek further help as needed. Participants learn to use a suicide intervention model to identify persons with thoughts of suicide, seek a shared understanding of reasons for dying and living, develop a safeplan based upon a review of risk, be prepared to do follow-up, and become involved in suicide-safer community networks. The learning process is based on adult learning principles and highly participatory. Graduated skills development occurs through mini-lectures, facilitated discussions, group simulations, and role plays.
What Will You Learn?
LivingWorks ASIST helps learners become willing, ready, and able to intervene with someone who has thoughts
of suicide. You will learn to:
• Help someone with thoughts of suicide develop a safety plan to keep safe-for-now and connect with further help
• Apply a Safety Framework to guide the development of this SafePlan through a collaborative, helping
relationship
• Understand how personal and community attitudes about suicide affect someone’s openness to seek help and
your ability to provide it
• Build confidence and capacity in providing suicide first aid
Who Should Attend?
Anyone aged 16+ years is encouraged to take LivingWorks ASIST. No previous experience or training is required.
LivingWorks ASIST is a training that strengthens your whole community, building a Network of Safety that helps you apply
suicide first aid in many settings like schools, homes, workplaces, and as a part of formal caregiving roles.
How Will You Learn?
We aim to provide a safe learning environment. The learning process includes:
• Trainer presentations and powerful videos to stimulate discussion and support learning
• Extensive opportunities for skills practice
• Shared participant experiences that enrich learning
• Trainer-facilitated workgroups to optimize participation
Direct and honest discussion about suicide is encouraged. While sometimes challenging, this prepares helpers to
openly approach people with thoughts of suicide, and to help them keep safe.
