In just one day, we can teach you how to help a child at risk of suicide become a child with hope for life.
About the ASK Workshop
Children are not small adults. So why use approaches designed for adults to help a child? The ASK Workshop is the only suicide prevention workshop that specifically targets suicide risk in children. We give participants developmentally appropriate strategies and tools to identify young children at risk of suicide and quickly gather and organise key details needed to assess risk and inform safety planning.
Without help, children thinking of suicide may become teens who act on those thoughts.
In just one day, we can teach you what to look for, how to respond, and what to do, that can make a life-saving difference for a child at risk of suicide.
An evidence-informed course
The ASK Workshop is a one-day, evidence-informed and highly interactive suicide prevention training course.
Learn from informative video, mini-lectures, and group discussions. Apply and practice as you learn with case studies and guided simulations. Leave with tools and templates you can integrate into your practice immediately.
Who takes the ASK Workshop and what are the requirements?
Participants of the ASK Workshop are typically helpers who routinely come into contact with children ages 5-14. It is recommended – but not a requirement – that you attend a safeTALK course before this training.
