ASIST is the world's leading suicide intervention training program!

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is the only workshop of its kind. Updated continually to reflect new knowledge, ASIST has been empowering people to provide skilled, life-saving interventions for over 35 years.

ASIST is a two-day face-to-face workshop featuring powerful audiovisuals, discussions, and simulations.

During an ASIST workshop, you'll learn how to prevent suicide by recognizing signs, providing a skilled intervention, and developing a safety plan to keep someone alive.

ASIST is evidence-based. Here's what over 30 peer-reviewed studies and government reports on ASIST found:

• Improves participant skills and readiness

• Safe for participants, with no adverse effects from training

• Interventions shown to increase hope and reduce suicidality

• Training shown to increase general counseling and listening skills
