This 3.5 hour workshop is only for people with a valid ASIST 11 or 11.1 certificate.
Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) Tune-Up is a half-day refresher course developed by LivingWorks Education for participants who have completed ASIST. The workshop offers participants an opportunity to review the Pathway for Assisting Life Model, discuss successes and challenges in using the model, and clarify concepts covered within the model.
It is recommended that you take an ASIST TuneUP between year 2 and 3 of your original ASIST training (or sooner if you have not had an opportunity to use the model often) to refresh and practice your life saving skills.
Learning Objectives
- Review or complete learning from the ASIST
- Test, examine or review how ASIST is applied in the real world

Audience
The ASIST Tune-Up workshop is designed for professionals, caregivers, and individuals who may work or be in contact with people-at-risk for suicide and who have taken the two day ASIST 11 or 11.1 workshop. Proof of prior ASIST attendance is required to attend the ASIST Tune-Up.
Question and Answer
Does my ASIST certificate expire?
