Details

ASIST is a 2-day workshop held Wednesday, October 19th and Thursday, October 20th from 8:30am-4:30pm both days. Participants must be able to attend both days in full. 

Developed by Living Works, ASIST is a two-day interactive workshop that teaches participants to recognize when someone may have thoughts of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety. This training is recommended for individuals for whom those in distress are referred, or who have direct responsibilities for assisting those experiencing significant difficulties. These are not mental health professionals per se, but who are expected to have professional competency in understanding and monitoring situations where mental health forms an important component of dynamics and/or individuals who work outside of normal business hours and who may need to deal with a crisis situation without available professional support. All University staff and faculty are welcome to register.

Registration: Register through Qualtrics
