Asist stands for Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training. Asist Communities CIC provide practical training for Suicide Intervention Skills using packages developed by LivingWorks Education.
Asist is by far the most widely used suicide intervention skills training in the world with 3,000 registered trainers in Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Ireland and the UK. The programme has been refined over a 23 year period with feedback from over 500,000 participants worldwide.
Most people considering suicide share their distress and their intent. Training can help us to see and respond to these invitations for help.
Training can also give us the confidence to ask about suicide when we are concerned about someone's safety. Asist Communities CIC can provide you with the tools to help prevent the immediate risk of suicide.
We are not a crisis support service. Please view our links page for crisis support.
