Feedback about ASIST training
- I found that the ASIST course took away the fear and the stigma around asking someone if they are thinking about suicide.
- I felt that the presenters were authentic, I felt that they brought relevant experience and were credible. I do not think that the PD would have been as effective if it was any old joe blow presenting, it needs to be someone that has “lived it.”
- I also thought that their risk mitigation strategies for the participants were effective but not overbearing.
