Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training

ASIST is the most widely used suicide intervention model in the world.
Facilitated by highly experienced LivingWorks Trainers.
It encompasses a two day interactive workshop where you will learn how to:

 

•  Reflect on how your attitudes and beliefs about suicide affect your intervention role
•  Discuss suicide with a person thinking about suicide in a clear and direct manner
•  Build a collaborative approach to intervention focused on safe outcomes
•  Review immediate suicide risk and develop appropriate safeplans
•  Recognize that suicide prevention is broader than suicide first aid and includes life promotion and self care for caregivers

ASIST is run by registered LivingWorks trainers and uses internationally standardized learning materials.

NOTE: It is a requirement to attend both full days

My experiencing as a support group facilitator has been extremely
rewarding. I can see the benefits the groups provide our participants when they
return each session with things to share, and many say that they are just
grateful to have a safe space to connect with people going through similar
things. Some participants have also expressed that in Victoria they cannot
access support groups similar to those that ARCVic provides (e.g. for body
dysmorphia), so they are grateful that ARCVic allows them to share on these
matters and feel less alone. Nicola
