Supporting People Who Experience Thoughts of Suicide

is a standardized program that can help you to be comfortable
supporting someone experiencing thoughts of suicide.

ASIST provides easy to understand suicide first aid skills, and
a step-by-step, “Pathway to Assisting Life”, connecting people
to plans and resources designed to keep them safe from suicide.

People who struggle with thoughts of suicide typically seek help
and understanding first from their friends, family, teachers,
coaches, coworkers, supervisors, clergy, etc. – People just like you!
