This handbook’s main purpose is to introduce concerned community members to suicide first-aid intervention skills—skills that can be used to help prevent the immediate risk of suicide. These skills are ones taught in ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training). ASIST is a two-day, hands-on, practice-orientated, immersion experience that helps caregivers become ready, willing and able to do suicide first-aid interventions.
