Suicide affects us all. Every year, more people die by suicide than in traffic accidents. Anyone can be at risk, but suicide can be prevented through the actions of prepared caregivers.
Just as CPR skills make physical first aid possible, training in suicide intervention develops the skills necessary for suicide first aid. ASIST is a two-day, intensive, interactive and practice-dominated course designed to provide practical training that will help you recognize risk and learn how to prevent the immediate risk of suicide.
ASIST will give you the confidence to ask about suicide and provide you with the tools to help prevent the immediate risk of suicide. Create a life-assisting community … It begins with you. The benefits live on.
This training is facilitated by the Canadian Mental Health Association Durham in partnership with Living Works, a leader in suicide intervention training. The ASIST certificate is valid for three years. Before a current ASIST certificate expires, individuals can participate in a half-day ASIST Tune-up Workshop.
