I-ASIST is a two-day interactive workshop in suicide first aid. I-ASIST provides a culturally relevant framework for participants to learn how to use a unique 6-task model to provide a suicide first-aid intervention, work with someone to develop a personalised safety plan to keep safe-for-now, and connect with further help.
