Description:

ASIST is a two-day workshop designed for members of all caregiving groups.

ASIST uses small and large group workgroups and fosters active participation using a flexible teaching style, simulation exercises, learning aids and audiovisual materials.

CEU's are available. A course certificate is provided to all participants with total contact hours.

This course meets for two days at the same time.ᙦ Class meets the first day and then returns the following day for the second day. Registered participants should plan on attending both days of the class.ᙦ

Training is open to outside participants on a SPACE AVAILABLE basis.
