Abstract

Using a matched-control experimental design, this study explored the use of Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) with fifty-four counselors in training (CIT). Over the course of 10 weeks CIT self-reported interactions with suicidal clients and their use of counseling skills. Trainees who completed ASIST were significantly more likely to report they had identified and used specific intervention strategies and counseling skills with suicidal clients during sessions. Implications for future training and research are provided. © 2019, © 2019 Chi Sigma Iota.
