The next available workshop is from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.:

November 24, 2011

Who should attend?

This workshop is designed for helpers working with people at risk of suicide in an
ongoing counseling or case management role.

Participants will be those who:

• Work with persons at risk beyond the immediate first aid situation and want to learn more about helping a person at risk.
• Participants must have taken the Living Works Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) as there is no time within this seminar to adequately review the ASIST workshop content.

Learning Process

The program assumes that participants have had formal counseling or clinical
training and will bring this learning to the seminar.

The Outcome

Participants will improve their ability to:

• Distinguish four intervention strategies(first aid, management, treatment and therapy);
• Clarify the helping roles associated with these strategies and recognize which role they are fulfilling with a person at risk at any one time;
• Integrate the action(tasks) competencies(tools) and helper characteristics(traits) needed to implement these strategic roles effectively;
• Enhance awareness beliefs, attitudes and practices which facilitate or impede an effective helping relationship with a person at risk beyond crisis.

About the workshop

This one-day workshop aims to enhance helper self-awareness, knowledge and
competence in working constructively with a person at risk beyond the immediate crisis.

Objectives:
Participants will be able to work with persons at risk beyond crisis by:

• Building on the principles and practice of suicide first aid;
• Understanding helper issues associated with ongoing care;
• Demonstrating a working knowledge of intervention strategies.
