ASK (Assessing Suicide in Kids)
The ASK Workshop is a one-day, evidence-informed and highly interactive suicide prevention training. In just one day, we can teach you what to look for, how to respond, and what to do, that can make a life-saving difference for a child at risk of suicide.
Without help, children thinking of suicide may become teens who act on those thoughts. The ASK Workshop is the only suicide prevention workshop that specifically addresses suicide risk in children and gives participants developmentally appropriate strategies and tools to identify young children at risk of suicide and quickly gather and organize key details needed to assess risk and inform safety planning.
