Event Series: ASIST Workshop – OTTAWA

ASIST Workshop – OTTAWA

January 15, 2026 @ 8:30 am - 4:30 pm

Join us for a two-day, interactive workshop designed to teach participants how to recognize when someone may be at risk of suicide and how to respond with confidence and compassion. ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) is the world’s leading suicide first aid course, used in over 30 countries and recognized as the gold standard for suicide prevention education.

Through a mix of discussion, role-play, and hands-on learning, participants will learn how to:

  • Identify signs that someone may be thinking about suicide
  • Engage in a safe and supportive conversation
  • Develop a collaborative safety plan to keep the person safe

This course is open to police members, families, peer supporters, and community partners. No prior experience is required—just a willingness to learn and help. Participants who complete both full days (8:30 AM – 4:30 PM) will receive ASIST certification from LivingWorks Education.

Location Sponsor: Ottawa Police Association
