ASIST Program
ASIST stands for Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training and is designed for patient caregivers. The program aims to help caregivers feel more competent and comfortable dealing with suicidal individuals.
It is a well established, evidence-based program and can be recommended to your patients who are attempting to deal with individuals who have attempted suicide or who have exhibited suicidal behaviours. The program is also considered appropriate training for healthcare professionals; however, the program is not necessarily geared towards healthcare professionals.
The workshop consists of two full days of group discussions and skills practice. Recertification will be required after five years.
