ASIST is an awarding-winning two-day interactive workshop that prepares caregivers to provide life-assisting suicide first-aid intervention using the Pathway for Assisting Life (PAL) model. Research shows that ASIST provides long-term financial benefits to communities and that ASIST-Trained caregivers help those with thoughts of suicide feel less suicidal and more helpful.

ASIST participants will be better able to:

• Identify people who have thoughts of suicide


• Understand how beliefs and attitudes can affect suicide interventions


• Listen to the story of a person with thoughts of suicide and recognize turning points that connect that person to life


• Conduct a safety assessment, develop a safe plan, and confirm the safety actions to be carried out.
