Steamboat Briefs: A suicide prevention workshop is next week

Reaching Everyone Preventing Suicide holds an Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training program for Gatekeeper Training from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Jan. 11 and 12 at Concordia Lutheran Church. The two-day ASIST workshop is designed to give participants knowledge and skills that will help them know how to intervene when they fear someone might be at risk for suicide and/or suffering from depression.

Workshop participants will learn to link people with community resources; apply a model for intervention; reach out and offer support; recognize opportunities to help; and recognize the warning signs of depression and/or suicide.

Breakfast, lunch and snacks will be provided. The workshop is free, although donations are accepted. Call Suicide Prevention Coordinator Ronna Autrey at 875-2941 or 879-2141, ext. 4164, for more information.
