Su***de prevention starts with being willing to talk, listen, and help. Applied Su***de Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is a two-day, interactive workshop designed to give participants the skills and confidence to recognize when someone may be at risk for su***de and respond with compassion.

We have two upcoming ASIST workshops

When
*September 10th & 11th (8:30 AM- 4:30 PM both days)
*October 27th & 28th (8:30 AM- 4:30 PM both days)

Where: Both workshops are in-person at Options' Admin Building (1215 SW G Street).

Fee: Registration is $85 (some scholarships available) and lunch and snacks are included!

You don't have to be a mental health professional to make a difference. ASIST is open to anyone who wants to learn how to support someone who may be experiencing thoughts of su***de. Together, we can build a su***de safer community!

Contact Angela Franklin ([email protected]) to register.
