Applied Suicide Intervention Training for New Canadians

You’ll learn to recognize when someone may be thinking about suicide, how to provide a skilled intervention and develop a safety plan.

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is a two-day, in-person workshop featuring powerful audiovisuals, discussions, and simulations. You’ll learn how to recognize when someone may be thinking about suicide, and how to provide a skilled intervention and develop a safety plan with the person to connect them to further support. You will also consider how personal and community attitudes about suicide affect someone’s openness to seek help and your ability to provide it. This workshop will increase your willingness, confidence, and capacity to provide suicide first aid.

ASIST requires a minimum number of participants and cannot proceed if under-attended. Please ensure your commitment to attend before you register.

This workshop is free of charge, thanks to funding by Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, to support Newcomer Integration & Workplace Well-Being Across Newfoundland & Labrador.
