Grassroots Training is a community interest company that supports communities to prevent suicide. We are specialists in suicide prevention and we deliver training that saves lives.
Very few, if any of us, are untouched by suicide. We believe that suicide is a community health problem and that suicide can be prevented.
We promote and deliver ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training), a two-day workshop that teaches a model of suicide first aid. ASIST has been developed by LivingWorks and has been delivered to over 750,000 people worldwide.
We offer a range of training programmes to complement ASIST, including SafeTALK (Suicide Alertness), One in Four (Mental Health Awareness), Recovery (Mental Health and Recovery) and Self Injury (Working with Self Injury).
"Grassroots Training (formerly ASIST Communities) have been in the forefront of developing and rolling out both the ASIST training course and the ASIST Trainer support network in England. The founding partners of Grassroots Training have between them a wealth of relevant experience, and, just as important, a passion to make a difference to people in distress. I have very much enjoyed working over recent years with such a professional and dedicated team."
