The NC Responder Assistance Initiative (RAI) is addressing this by enhancing #SuicidePrevention training across the state. With the help of #LivingWorks' Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), peers are being trained to recognise and intervene in moments of crisis. The recent LivingWorks Training for Trainers (T4T) course certified 21 public safety professionals to lead LivingWorks ASIST workshops for first responders — free of charge. 💪 “LivingWorks ASIST is a gold standard, research-backed, evidence-based approach for suicide prevention,” says RAI Director Chad F.
