The Bert Nash Center offers LivingWorks Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST). With this unique training, 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.
Trusted by professionals, approved by the World Health Organization and learnable by anyone, LivingWorks ASIST has been training people to provide suicide first aid interventions for 40 years.
