Statement of Principles

I have taken an ASIST two-day workshop or I am an ASIST trainer.

ASIST workshop date:
Location (city or military base):
Trainer(s):

I have read and embrace the fundamental assumptions about suicide outlined in Essential Information for safeTALK Trainer Candidates.
If I wish to use the customizable materials, I am an experienced computer user or I can obtain access to computer technical support on my own.
I read well and I am an experienced presenter. I am willing to work hard to become a safeTALK trainer.
I am attending a one-day T4T. I have read the training schedule, and I understand that in addition to the time at T4T, LivingWorks estimates that another 16 hours of post-T4T preparation will be required to prepare for my first training.
I appreciate the importance of scheduling my first safeTALK before attending my T4T.
I understand that LivingWorks reserves the right to make final decisions regarding my potential to become a trainer. I also understand that a history of unresolved participant complaints can serve as a basis for removal from the list of registered trainers. Trainer materials need to be returned in either of these circumstances.
I understand that safeTALK trainings should be conducted in a physically and emotionally safe environment that includes a community support resource who is either ASIST-trained or has suicide intervention skills.
I recognize that each individual trainer has the freedom to decide such implementation issues as marketing, prices and trainer fees. I understand that agreements among trainers in a region are recommended and that some regional agreements may modify these freedoms.
I recognize that I need to complete three trainings within the first year to receive my trainer certificate with at least one of those being done on my own without another trainer and complete two trainings per year thereafter to maintain my trainer status.
I understand that I must make my name or trainer number available to participants so that they can determine that I am a trainer.
I know that the current cost of a safeTALK Resource Kit can be found at www.livingworks.net.
I understand that safeTALK is a standardized program with customizable options and that I must present it consistent with its manual and any approved options.
I know that safeTALK trainer and participant materials are copyrighted and as such may not be abridged, altered, extracted, or presented in a manner inconsistent with the standard procedures without written permission from LivingWorks Education.

* I agree to the above Statement of Principles, as does my employer (if applicable).
