After training, ASIST participants should be able to:
■ Recognise that caregivers and persons at risk are affected by personal and societal attitudes about suicide.
■ Discuss suicide in a direct manner with someone at risk.
■ Identify risk alerts and develop related safeplans.
■ Demonstrate the skills required to intervene with a person at risk of suicide.
■ List the types of resources available to a person at risk, including him or herself.
■ Recognise that suicide prevention is broader than suicide first-aid and includes life promotion and self-care for caregivers.
