ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
The National Center for Suicide Survivors realizes there is a window of opportunity following an attempted suicide. Utilizing an innovative and proven approach, our mission is to eliminate future attempts and to save lives. We dream of a world with ZERO suicides.

THERE IS HOPE
The National Center for Suicide Survivors uses a unique Intensive Suicide Survivors Treatment (ISST) for those who have attempted suicide and features Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP). ASSIP, a Swiss originated approach, has demonstrated an unprecedented 80% reduction in repeat suicide in research. ISST consists of an initial intake session to establish that we are a good fit followed by four intensive individual sessions (with the option to participate virtually or in-person). As part of ISST, caregivers and primary supports will be required to participate in video training. Lastly, six care letters will be sent over the course of 24-months along with an invitation to join our online community of suicide survivors for ongoing support.
you are not alone
IS THIS A GOOD FIT FOR ME
The National Center for Suicide Survivors and the researchers who developed ASSIP agree that our program is only an adjunct to counseling. Therefore, those who wish to participate must be receiving care from a licensed mental health provider or are willing to begin treatment as a pre-requisite to ISST. Our services are a secondary program focused on the action of suicide, and our program does not include diagnosing or treating mental disorders. Consider the following requirements for participation.

I'm at
least 15 years old
I'm engaged in mental health services
