From mjadwisiak at msn.com Tue Jun 9 08:56:58 2015 From: mjadwisiak at msn.com (Mary Jadwisiak) Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2015 08:56:58 -0700 Subject: [ASIST_Network] Need an ASIST refresher course? Message-ID: Hi All Has it been a while since you've taken ASIST X? Donna asked me to let you know that Livingworks has an ASIST tune up. Watch the videos and go back through the model - remind yourself of what CPR stands for. The tune up also gives you an opportunity to discuss the interventions you've done. You can compare your helping with others and see what worked and what didn't. If this is something you think may be helpful, send me an email (mary at holdingthehope.com) and I will see about bringing one to your area. Thanks!

From donna.noonan at state.or.us Fri Jun 12 17:56:22 2015 From: donna.noonan at state.or.us (NOONAN Donna) Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2015 00:56:22 +0000 Subject: [ASIST_Network] Great news - ASIST research report and fact sheet from Rand Corp Message-ID: Dear Oregon ASIST Trainers, Great News!!! (and please excuse cross-postings) Today's Spark (www.sprc.org), a news release about 2 California suicide prevention projects, a news article, and links to a 2-page fact sheet on ASIST, and a full research report on ASIST. Very exciting and promising research and news! This is research you can use to promote ASIST trainings in the community and to funders. Here is a quote from those who researched ASIST trainings in California: "RAND estimates that over the next few years the state could save $1,100 in reduced spending on emergency care and lost productivity for every $1 invested in such trainings. "We demonstrate how investments in preventing suicide can actually benefit the state's economy," said J. Scott Ashwood, lead author of the ASIST evaluation." Oregon has used SAMHSA grant funding to increase the number of Applied Suicide Intervention Skills (ASIST) Trainers throughout the state. Numerous trainers now hold ASIST trainings in their communities on an ongoing basis. Dr. Gary McConahay of ColumbiaCare Services, Inc. in Medford has been holding 2 ASIST Training for Trainers per year (the next on is in September). These articles certainly back up state and community investments in ASIST trainings. 1. Fact Sheet: Should California Continue to Invest in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)? ASIST Could Save Lives and Wages and Reduce Medical Costs. See http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB9849.html for the 2-page Fact Sheet. And to repeat the quote from above: 1. Research Report: Analysis of the Benefits and Costs of CalMHSA's Investment in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST). See http://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RR1100/RR1115/RAND_RR1115.pdf for the full research report. >From the Key Findings: we estimate that for each year of CalMHSA investment in the ASIST T4T program at least 3,600 suicide attempts and 140 deaths will be prevented over the next 28 years. This represents a reduction of 0.13 percent in the num- ber of suicide attempts and deaths. We project the financial benefits of averting these attempts and deaths to be $1,100 per dollar invested in ASIST by CalMHSA; these benefits include savings in medical costs and increased earnings. When we examined the financial gains to the state government alone, we estimated $50 per dollar invested in ASIST training 1. From the Spark: California suicide prevention program demonstrates promise, studies find [Description: http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs130/1102962933928/img/188.png] Learn more about California's Know the Signs social marketing campaign. Medical Xpress A large-scale suicide prevention media campaign in California is showing early signs of successfully increasing awareness among the state's residents, according to an evaluation by the RAND Corporation. RAND says its research suggests that Know the Signs, created by the California Mental Health Services Administration (CalMHSA), has reached more than half of the state's adults with ads that introduce suicide warning signs and direct viewers to an educational website to learn more. In addition, study co-author Rajeev Ramchand noted, "We found evidence that the mass media campaign is making California adults more confident in their ability to intervene with someone who is at risk for suicide." In a second report, RAND did an economic assessment of another CalMHSA effort, in which community leaders such as clergy, first responders, and educators receive intensive Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST). RAND estimates that over the next few years the state could save $1,100 in reduced spending on emergency care and lost productivity for every $1 invested in such trainings. "We demonstrate how investments in preventing suicide can actually benefit the state's economy," said J. Scott Ashwood, lead author of the ASIST evaluation.

The ASIST workshop is for those who want to increase their skills in order to help prevent the immediate risk of suicide for youth, consumers, clients, family, friends, coworkers and community members. Statistics outline an alarming need to increase our skills in suicide intervention: ? Each year there are more than 550 Oregonians who died by suicide and more than 1800 hospitalizations due to suicide attempts. ? Suicide is the second leading cause of death among Oregonians ages 15-34, and the 9th leading cause of death among all ages in Oregon. ? On average, 75 youth aged 10 to 24 have killed themselves in this state every year during the past decade. ? Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death of college students, killing more than 1000 students every year. ? Up to 40% of college students report experiencing depression during an academic year. Parents and students, college staff and friends need to be able to distinguish the normal temporary college blues from depression and be able to identify a person at risk for suicide?. The intended audience for the ASIST training may include, but is not limited to, school staff, mental health providers, medical providers, clergy, human resource personnel, law enforcement, student life workers, youth workers, family members, etc. ASIST is an internationally recognized suicide prevention training program and is in the Best Practice Registry for suicide prevention. Attached is a flyer and registration form for additional information or at our website at . Space is limited to the first 30 participants. Please feel free to pass this information on to others who may be interested in attending. We look forward to seeing you there!
