CPD CORE TOPIC Counselling Skills

LivingWorks Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is the only workshop of its kind. In this two-day in-person workshop, participants learn an evidence-based suicide intervention model to intervene and help prevent the immediate risk of suicide. Developed in 1982 and regularly evaluated and updated to reflect best-practice in suicide prevention, ASIST has over 30+ peer-reviewed studies proving its ability to reduce thoughts of suicide for those at risk.

During the two-day interactive workshop, participants learn a 6-task suicide first-aid model through powerful audio visual learning aids, group discussions, skills practice and development through trainer-facilitated workgroups.

Upon completion of this session participants will have:

• Provide a suicide first-aid intervention
• Develop a personalised safety plan for someone with thoughts of suicide to keep “safe-for-now
• Connect the person with thoughts of suicide to further help

To satisfy your professional obligations -and to be awarded points for attendance - you are required to participate in the entire session.  We thank you for your commitment to our Code of Ethics.
