Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)
|
LIVINGWORKS Education Australia Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) Conducted by Gaynor Hicks and Lindy McGregor ASIST is the world’s most widely presented 2-day skills based workshop that equips caregivers for an effective suicide intervention role. The emphasis is on SUICIDE FIRST AID – helping a person at immediate risk stay safe and seek further help. Participants reflect on their attitudes and beliefs about suicide and how these may affect their intervention role. They learn how to notice and respond to invitations for help and ask directly about suicide. An intervention framework – the SUICIDE INTERVENTION MODEL is provided and modelled, followed by extensive opportunities to practise skills needed to implement the model. Community resources likely to promote life-links and continuity of care are identified. Participants leave the workshop feeling more competent and confident in their ability to help someone at risk of suicide.
