Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)
Status: Code 4, Inc. (SC4i) is partnering with Pikes Peak Suicide Prevention Partners to offer Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST).
ASIST is a two-day workshop designed for individuals interested in learning more about suicide prevention. In this evidence-based training, you will learn suicide first-aid techniques to help a person with thoughts of suicide 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 safe plan based upon a review of risk
· Prepare for follow-up
· Become involved in suicide-safer community networks
Through local grant awards, we are able to provide these course offerings. ASIST is a 2-day class, and these class offerings will be specifically for the First Responder community. Each class is limited to 20 participants.
