ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) in the Faculty of Nursing
Upcoming Workshops
ASIST workshops will be offered in 2023. They will be available to Faculty of Nursing students (undergraduate and graduate), as well as interested staff and faculty members.
These workshops are offered by the Faculty of Nursing, in partnership with the Centre for Suicide Prevention, the Campus Mental Health Strategy, the City of Calgary: Change Can’t Wait grant, and the Student's Union Quality Money grant.


Compassionate ‘zero-suicide’ prevention on campuses needed
Even with a concerted response to improve mental health at universities, mental health crises still occur. The issue of suicide has been in the news lately, and students are looking to universities to respond.

Putting Care in Healthcare
Listen to this LivingWorks podcast with Dr. Jacqueline Smith and president of the Singapore Association of Social Workers Chey May Long.
The episode is all about healthcare, hospitals, and essential workers and finding the balance between education, understanding, and peer support when it comes to suicide prevention in healthcare.
