LivingWorks trainers come from a wide variety of backgrounds and life experiences, and no single “type” is predisposed to success. However, good qualities include presentation and facilitation skills, patience, a willingness to talk about suicide, and an “always learning” mindset.
LivingWorks Trainers bring suicide alertness and suicide first-aid to millions of people every year by providing access to the knowledge and skills of suicide prevention and intervention. Studies have shown that, on average, workshop participants carry out at least one suicide intervention within the first six months after attending LivingWorks ASIST, and that some participants—depending on their role and exposure to those in need—carry out more than 20. By providing evidenced-based, effective suicide prevention and intervention skills to their communities, trainers directly contribute to creating suicide safer communities across the world. Becoming a registered trainer is a powerful investment in supporting, building, and renewing the wellness of your community and organization.
