  • LivingWorks ASIST Workshop - Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training

    Pre-conference Workshop: 14-15 May 2026

Suicide is preventable — and you can be part of the difference. This internationally recognized, evidence-based training equips you with the practical skills to recognize when someone may be  thinking about suicide, engage in direct and compassionate conversation, and take safe, effective steps to help.

Over two days, certified ASIST trainers will guide you through interactive learning, hands-on practice, and real-world scenarios. You’ll leave with the confidence and tools to respond in crisis moments, connect them to resources, and create safety plans that save lives.

Whether you’re an educator, community leader, caregiver, or simply someone who wants to help, this workshop offers life-saving skills to support your growth.

LivingWorks ASIST is the only WHO Endorsed suicide intervention skills program worldwide.

This LivingWorks ASIST workshop is facilitated by Suicide Intervention Training by Sandy Sinn (SITS) and organized by 21st Century Learning
