A free Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training workshop (ASIST) will be held August 18-19, 2010 at New Hope Presbyterian Church in Castle Rock. ASIST is a 2-day workshop developed by LivingWorks Education, Inc that prepares anyone to help a person considering suicide get the help they need to save a life. The workshop begins each day at 7:30 am and ends at 4:00 pm. Participants must attend all 17 hours to become ASIST certified.
The trainings are funded by a Colorado Office of Suicide Prevention grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and support from the Douglas County School District, and Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
To reserve your space, please contact Betsy Sousa at betsy.sousa@dcsdk12.org or 303-728-4034
Additional ASIST workshops are scheduled for October 4-5, 2010, February 7-8, 2011, and June 9-10, 2011.
