ASIST - Applied Sucide Intervention Skills Training

More than 3,700 Canadians die by suicide each year. These suicides can be prevented and you can help! This 2-day training will give you an understanding of the following: your personal attitudes toward suicide; how to recognize and assess the risk of suicide; effective suicide intervention techniques; and community resources. Any person who is interested or who may come in contact with a person at risk of suicide is encouraged to attend. ASIST meets the requirements for Alberta College of Social Workers Category A credits. Each participant will receive a certificate upon completion.
