This two-day in-person workshop is the gold standard in suicide intervention training, widely used by professionals and laypeople. Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) teaches people to recognize when someone is thinking about suicide and provide an in-depth intervention, working with them to understand their situation, keep them safe, and create an ongoing safety plan. Evidence shows that LivingWorks ASIST improves trainee skills, knowledge, and confidence; improves outcomes for intervention recipients, increases general counseling and listening skills; and provides a 50:1 return on investment by preventing deaths and other suicide-related outcomes such as emergency medical expenses and lost work.
