More about ASIST:
- In person, 2 full days. Attendance all day for both days is required for certification.
- ASIST is one of the most recommended training on suicide intervention, on how to have a conversation with someone who is having thoughts of suicide.
- The state recommends and our TTSD Suicide Prevention Plan specifies that Suicide Screeners will take the 2-day the ASIST training every 5 years. I have grant funding to cover the cost of substitutes for the two days of any ASIST training this school year. Email me for the funding code.
- See the ASIST trainings listed below, some for free and some for cost.
- ASIST is actually open to all TTSD staff, whether or not they are suicide screeners in their building.
- Health Teachers, the TTSD health teachers who have taken the ASIST training said they found it helpful in their work teaching students about mental wellness and suicide prevention.
