ASIST is a two-day interactive workshop in suicide first-aid. ASIST teaches participants to recognize when someone may be at risk of suicide and work with them to create a plan that will support their immediate safety. Although ASIST is widely used by healthcare providers, participants don't need any formal training to attend the workshop-- ASIST can be learned and used by anyone.

Training Available through the KSPRC

The KSPRC is dedicated to advancing evidence-based suicide prevention strategies throughout the state of Kansas. We know that prevention efforts need to be addressed in a variety of settings to a wide-ranging audience in order to reduce the suicide attempts and deaths. To schedule any of the training sessions listed, please contact Monica Kurz.

If you are looking for more information on evidence-based programs, please visit The Best Practices Registry hosted on the Suicide Prevention Resource Center. “The purpose of the Best Practices Registry (BPR) is to identify, review, and disseminate information about best practices that address specific objectives of the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention.”

We want everyone around the state to be aware of the amazing and engaging work that is being done to prevent suicide. If you would like to see your event featured on this page, please contact Monica Kurz.
