ASIST - Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training is an in-depth training developed by LivingWorks that prepares individuals to provide suicide first-aid intervention using the evidence-based Pathway for Assisting Life (PAL) model. Backed by numerous peer reviewed studies and government reports, ASIST is recognized in SAMHSA’s and the Suicide Prevention Resource Center’s national registry of best practices, and it is often referred to as the "GOLD STANDARD" in suicide intervention training. Although many professional caregivers use ASIST, anyone 16 or older can learn these life-saving skills.
