[ASIST_Network] Upcoming ASIST Workshop

[paige]

Greetings,
 
DeShawn Williams and Paige Hirt of Foundations Counseling & Consultation
Services invite you to attend the Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training
(ASIST) on July 20th & 21st, 2015.   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<http://www.foundationsccs.com/>  .   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!  

Paige Hirt and DeShawn Williams
