This 3.5 hour workshop is only for people with a valid ASIST certificate.  In Alberta, your ASIST certificate is valid for three years. If you take a half-day ASIST Tune Up workshop within 30 days of the expiration of your certificate, it will be renewed for another two years. After the TuneUp certificate has expired, participants are required to take the two-day ASIST workshop to obtain another certificate.

Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) TuneUp is a half-day refresher course developed by LivingWorks Education for participants who have completed ASIST. The workshop offers participants an opportunity to review the Pathway for Assisting Life Model, discuss successes and challenges in using the model, and clarify concepts covered within the model.

The TuneUp provides participants an opportunity to:

• Review or complete learning from the ASIST

• Test, examine or review how ASIST is applied in the real world or to share what they have learned from applications in the real world

• Recapture some of the experience of a caring community and collegial feelings from their ASIST experience
