 The Navy is committed to helping sailors when they need it. The Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training, or ASSIST, is a chaplain core initiative to help prevent suicide in the Navy. ASSIST is a two-day course focusing on interactive role-playing to teach sailors how to help someone who may be showing suicidal signs. ASSIST, which stands for Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training, is different than our GMTs in that they really want us to learn how to intervene when we're thrown specific cues or invitations is what they refer to them as so that we are prepared to assist our shipmates in getting them the right path or the right direction for preventing any suicidal actions. If someone you know is showing signs of suicide, act immediately. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Tony Rosa.
