Anyone can attend our trainings. You don't need to be in a profession that works directly with mental health. You never know whom you can help.

ASIST features powerful audiovisuals, discussions, and simulations. At a LivingWorks ASIST workshop, you’ll learn how to:

Prevent suicide by recognizing signs, providing a skilled intervention, and developing a safety plan to keep someone alive.
LivingWorks ASIST trainees make their communities safer from suicide by providing life-saving interventions. They’re a vital resource that trainees in connector programs—such as LivingWorks safeTALK—can call to help others.
