ASIST Training (tentative)

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is a two-day interactive workshop in suicide first aid. ASIST teaches participants to recognize when someone may have thoughts of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety. Although ASIST is widely used by healthcare providers, participants don't need any formal training to attend the workshop—anyone 16 or older can learn and use the ASIST model.

ASIST is an important part of national and regional prevention strategies worldwide; one that Guam has found to be valuable for helping caregivers learn suicide first aid by recognizing the risks and learning how to intervene and prevent the immediate risk of suicide. ASIST is reportedly the most widely used suicide intervention model in the world and features the only full model of the suicide intervention process. Since 1985, ASIST has been delivered to over one million caregivers in more than ten countries and is for all caregivers (any person in a position of trust) to include professionals, paraprofessionals and lay people. It is suitable for primary care and behavioral health professionals, nurses, physicians, pharmacists, teachers, counselors, adult workers, police and correctional staff, clergy, and community volunteers. It is the approved training program for the Army and extensively used by the Air Force.
Deadline to register is June 07, 2017. Seats are limited and are confirmed upon receipt of registration form. Thank You.
