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.
