(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. Although ASIST is widely used by healthcare providers, participants don’t need any formal training to attend the workshop—anyone 16 or older can learn and use the ASIST model. All CommUnity Crisis Services volunteers and most staff members are trained in ASIST.
This training defines Compassion Fatigue and Secondary Trauma, considers their effects on wellbeing, and starts a conversation about addressing these conditions.
QPR is an emergency response to someone in crisis and can save lives. This course teaches participants how to question, persuade and refer someone who may be suicidal; how to get help for yourself or learn more about preventing suicide; the warning signs of suicide; the common causes of suicidal behavior; and how to get help for someone in crisis.
