Through brief lectures\, video examples\, coached practice\, and supervised simulations\, participants learn to recognize invitations and warning signs\, ask directly about suicide\, and build a collaborative safety plan that connects the person to ongoing supports. The workshop uses a standardized format from LivingWorks\, with trained facilitators who create a safe learning environment for people with varied roles and lived experience. Skills apply across home\, workplace\, and clinical settings\, including support for Veterans and their families. By the end of the workshop\, participants can organize risk information\, strengthen reasons for living\, map resources\, and plan follow-up. ASIST has decades of evaluation and is widely used by health systems\, community organizations\, and first responders. The focus is practical\, repeatable steps that improve confidence and effectiveness. \nOutcomes\nParticipants increase self-efficacy\, improve collaborative safety-planning skills\, and strengthen coordination with family\, peers\, and providers for ongoing support. \nLearning Objectives \n\nAnalyze risk and safety information to understand immediate needs.\nDemonstrate the ASIST intervention model in a simulated interaction.\nDevelop listening and questioning skills that identify person-centered motivations to “turn” individuals toward the future\, life\, and support.\nIntegrate family\, peers\, and community resources into ongoing support.\nEvaluate next steps and arrange active follow-up and warm handoffs.\n\nRegister Now \nQuestions?
