Wake Up Wednesday - Suicide Intervention (by 100ReasonstoRecover)

It’s a day late, but better late than never!

How do you talk to someone who is showing the signs of suicide? ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) is a two day training that teaches you just that. Here is a summary of some of the things I learned through ASIST. Hopefully they will help you if you are ever in this situation.
