ASIST uses internationally recognized best practices customized to be relevant to students, employees, or concerned citizens. Instructors maintain a balance of challenge and safety. As an Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) trainee, or, ‘suicide first responder’, you will learn how to recognize and assist a person at risk to avoid suicide, discuss suicide with a person at risk in a direct manner, demonstrate the skills required to intervene with a person at risk of suicide, recognize that caregivers and persons at risk are affected by personal and societal attitudes about suicide, learn about the facts of suicide and dispel the myths, identify risk alerts and develop a safe plan related to them, list the types of resources available to a person at risk of suicide, make a commitment to advocacy, improve community resources and networking, and recognize that suicide prevention is broader than suicide intervention and includes life promotion and self-care for persons at risk and for caregivers.

With breath work, we develop awareness and conscious connection with the breath, an anchor that is always available for us to return to. Some practices allow us to create ease and restoration within, while others are more energizing and aid in processing emotions and experiences we've moved through.

Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is one of the most commonly practiced forms of psychotherapy today. Its focus is on helping people learn how their thoughts colour and can actually change their feelings and behaviours. It is usually time-limited and goal-focused, as practiced by most psychotherapists in the U.S. today.
Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is a specific form of cognitive-behavioural therapy. DBT seeks to build upon the foundation of CBT, to help enhance its effectiveness.
Both CBT and DBT can incorporate exploring an individual’s past or history, to help an individual better understand how it may have impacted their current situation.

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) is a non-pathologizing, humanistic-experiential approach that helps you understand and harness the power of your emotions. We can all get stuck in negative, self-defeating emotional patterns.
An EFIT therapist walks alongside you as you come to better understand, order, and regulate the frightening, alien or unacceptable emotions that might be keeping you stuck in those not-so-helpful patterns. The goal is to help increase your emotional balance and to create a greater felt-sense of wholeness that is stable and lasting.
"Clients move from chaos to order, reactivity to balance, from self-abnegation to self-acceptance, from helplessness to agency." ~ Dr. Sue Johnson, developer of EFIT & EFT

EMDR is evidence-based therapy to support individuals in processing traumatic experiences and memories with minimal exposure and re-traumatization. This method involves moving your eyes a specific way while you process these memories. EMDR therapy doesn’t require talking in detail about a distressing issue. EMDR instead focuses on changing the emotions, thoughts or behaviors that result from a distressing experience (trauma). This allows your brain to resume a natural healing process.

The appropriate strategy can be used to encourage people in these states to return to their competent state.
Visit the WEVAS® website for even more details on how it can teach how to use your mind, presence & energy flow to produce peace.
