Each ASIST workshop shares many core features that make up the LivingWorks international standard. Here is what you can expect at your ASIST training:

• ASIST is held over two consecutive days for a total of 15 hours.
• Each ASIST participant is charged $50 for the cost of materials and lunch for both days
• ASIST workshops always have a minimum of two active ASIST trainers present for the entire two days.
• Trainers show two award-winning videos in the course of the workshop.
• Some parts of ASIST take place with all participants together, and others take place in a smaller work group. This helps create A balance between safety and challenge. Participants need not disclose personal experiences to the whole group.
• Local resources are provided and their availability in the community is discussed

Participant materials include a 20-page workbook, wallet card, and stickers. Participants also receive a certificate upon completing the workshop
