🌟 Enhancing #SuicidePrevention Efforts at Holloman Air Force Base with LivingWorks ASIST 🌟 In the high-pressure world of military life, recognising when someone is struggling can make all the difference. That’s where the #LivingWorks ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) program steps in—arming caregivers with the tools to intervene at a critical moment and offer further support. Master Sgt. Elisa Panek, who oversees religious affairs at the U.S. Air Force Academy, highlights that LivingWorks ASIST isn't just about recognising the signs of suicide—it’s about connecting, listening, and creating a safety plan. Through practical skills and the P.A.L. model, caregivers learn to support individuals through their darkest moments. “We’re all about supporting each other in the military, especially when it comes to mental health. LivingWorks ASIST gives us the skills to do that effectively,” says Panek. This training is now vital to Holloman AFB’s mission to keep Airmen and their families safe. More classes will be held regularly, ensuring the community is equipped with the knowledge to be #SaferFromSuicide. Want to learn more about how LivingWorks ASIST is making a difference?
