Prophetic Ireland are planning to hold ASIST: Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training. This is an accredited, two-day, interactive course taking place on Friday 19 May and Saturday 20 May 2023. (The course with run from 9am-5pm on both days)
The location for the training will be the Open Arms Centre, 39a Ballynure Road, Newtownabbey, BT36 5HG.
Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is a two-day interactive workshop in suicide first aid. ASIST teaches participants to recognize when someone may have thoughts of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety.
Over the course of your two-day workshop, ASIST participants will learn to understand the ways that personal and societal attitudes affect views on suicide and interventions.
- Provide guidance and suicide first aid to a person at risk in ways that meet their individual safety needs.
- Identify the key elements of an effective suicide safety plan and the actions required to implement it.
- Appreciate the value of improving and integrating suicide prevention resources in the community at large.
- Recognize other important aspects of suicide prevention including life-promotion and self-care.
Some of the learning will take place in the whole group of participants and some in smaller workgroups. You will learn and practice a model of suicide intervention. Your workshop trainers will be available to offer support and will work hard to create a learning atmosphere where participants can also encourage and support each other.
