Suicide Prevention

ASIST is a two-day suicide prevention program that provides essential skills with which to intervene with someone considering suicide. That person may be a friend, family member, colleague or stranger. ASIST is offered at least monthly to the community of the ACT and region. Lifeline has set the target of 10,000 participants in ten years. Courses are routinely booked out as word of the value and benefit of the program spreads.

Lifeline is also able to offer shorter programs - Suicide Aware and Suicide Talk - as well as provide in-house training for organisations. While everyone would benefit from ASIST training there are key sectors in our community with most to gain, these include teachers, hospital workers, nurses, ambulance drivers, social workers, staff of correctional institutions and police.
