ASIST Suicide Intervention Training Opportunities

Last chance! 

Sign up today or Tuesday for the Jan 24-25 ASIST training, a training that always fills fast. To sign up for the handful of spots saved for TTSD, share your information here and I will register you. 

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.

Raíces' newly released Training on Suicide Prevention and Intervention in the Latine Community

 

 

Raíces is excited to announce the release of a new virtual on-demand training entitled Suicide Prevention and Intervention for Latine Communities.  The training is sponsored by the American Psychological Association (APA) for 3 continuing education credits and meets the Oregon legislative requirement for mental health professionals to receive 3-hours of suicide prevention training or cultural competency. The Oregon Health Authority has generously sponsored the training to be free of charge for mental health professionals licensed in Oregon, including psychologists, clinical social workers, and licensed mental health counselors.  

 

The training focuses on using culturally responsive practices to improve suicide prevention, assessment, and intervention for Latine individuals. The training emphasizes evidenced-based practical tools and skills related to improving diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and clinical practices when working with Latine communities around suicide. Additionally, the training emphasizes sociocultural factors, values and practices related to Latine mental health. Please circulate to your network!

 

We are very honored to be one of fourteen organizations sponsored by APA for continuing education in Oregon. Keep an eye on our virtual education platform for upcoming trainings offered for credit as well.  

 

 

Find the training at the Raíces de Bienestar CE 21 catalog.
