[Linda O'Neil]

CMHA Ottawa is offering the following trainings in March:

March ASIST: March 22-23    Thu, 22 Mar 2018, 8:30 AM -  Fri, 23 Mar 2018, 4:30 PM,   $200-250.

ASIST is a two-day, interactive workshop that prepares caregivers to provide suicide life-assisting, first-aid intervention. Small group discussions and skills practice are based on adult learning principles. ASIST teaches Pathways for Assisting Life (PAL), a practical guide to doing suicide interventions. Powerful videos support learning. All caregivers, formally designated or not; adults and youth 16 plus can attend.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the workshop, participants will be better able to:

  *   Identify people who have thoughts of suicide.
  *   Understand how beliefs and attitudes can affect suicide interventions.
  *   Understand a person at risk's story about suicide as well as recognize turning points that connect the person to life.
  *   Conduct a safety assessment and develop a plan that will keep the person at risk safe-for-now.
  *   Confirm the person at risk's faith in the safe plan and their intent to follow it through.
