Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training

The world's leading suicide intervention training program

Trusted by professionals yet learnable by anyone, LivingWorks Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is the only workshop of its kind. Updated continually to reflect new knowledge, LivingWorks ASIST has been empowering people to provide skilled, life-saving interventions for over 35 years.

COVID-19 update: LivingWorks trainers are now providing face-to-face ASIST training in some regions with strict safety measures in place.

LivingWorks ASIST cannot be delivered via webinar—for those located in areas where face-to-face training has not yet resumed, we invite you to learn more about LivingWorks Start, our digital training program that teaches life-saving skills online.
