Hear From Past Participants:
"The ASIST training directly equipped me for a difficult position I was experiencing at the time. I used the knowledge gained to navigate and respond in a confident, educated manner with one of my best friends who was experiencing an intense amount of pain and having suicidal intentions. I believe this training is essential for anyone in a position of leadership. I highly recommend that people make the commitment—it can be the missing link between life and death." - Jake, Grindstones Reflections
