What do people think of the ASIST programme?

This training was very well presented and obvious that the trainers had a great knowledge on this topic. Life experiences and well educated and skilled in this area. The training builds confidence to be able to deliver something like this. (Wairoa)

Excellent programme, addresses a ‘taboo’ subject and allows permission to ‘challenge’. (Wellington)

Highly recommended training; found it to be very useful and have learnt some very valuable information. I am more prepared now and feel more confident about helping someone. (Auckland)

In most organisations, this type of workshop is usually given ‘after’ an event. It is good doing this course as a pro-active initiative rather than being reactive. (Blenheim)

The workshop was thoroughly engaging and worthwhile... This is an invaluable new tool in my toolbox. I really feel so much more equipped now to spot risk and take action. (Kapiti)

I wasn’t interested in this training and had a fear of putting myself out there to assist someone wanting to attempt suicide. You both gave me the tools and confidence to do what needs to be done. Thanks. (Wanganui)
