AS+K? About Suicide to Save a Life teaches participants to recognize the warning signs, clues, and suicidal communications of people in psychological distress and identify what action to take to prevent a possible tragedy. AS+K? About Suicide to Save a Life Workshops are three-hour workshops designed for persons who work and/or interact with youth, adults, and others who may be at risk of suicide.
The AS+K? program provides workshop participants with an overview of safe messaging, the basic epidemiology of suicide, the public health approach to suicide prevention, risk and protective factors and warning signs often associated with suicide. Participants are trained to identify warning signs, language, behaviors, and characteristics that might indicate elevated risk for suicidal behavior, how to ask a person if they might be thinking about suicide, and actions to take to connect the person to qualified care. This training is designed for all adults including but not limited to teachers, school counselors, administrators, other educators, and school staff.
