Most people considering suicide signal their distress and intent.

Training can help you to be ready, willing
and able to act when you are concerned
about someone’s safety.
What others have said about ASIST:
“The workshop takes away a lot of the fear of approaching suicidal people”
“Presenters have the sincerity, the energy and caring for us as well as the potential suicide victims. I wish that everyone could have the ‘tools’ to be equipped to deal with people in times of crisis”
“ A most practical workshop and a great learning experience”
“I found it so beneficial and I want to recommend it especially to parents of teens and teachers.
‘This information needs to be out in the community. The more people the better to have this knowledge.”
“Great Trainers, encouraging and validating, the best in personal and professional care”
“Keep on doing this wonderful work”
