Suicide Prevention Training Institute The Suicide Prevention Training Institute is committed to providing education that can SAVE LIVES.

05/25/2026

Today, we proudly celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the very first Su***de Prevention Training Institute (SPTI) ASIST workshop participants!

Five years ago, a dedicated group of individuals stepped forward with a shared commitment to learning how to recognize su***de risk, provide support, and help save lives. Their willingness to engage in this important work helped lay the foundation for the growth of SPTI and the expansion of su***de prevention education throughout our community.

Since that first workshop, SPTI has offered 33 workshops and 373 participants have completed ASIST training, creating a stronger network of compassionate, informed individuals prepared to make life-saving connections when it matters most.

To our very first ASIST participants—thank you for believing in this mission from the beginning. Your impact continues to ripple throughout the Tampa Bay community and beyond.

Together, we continue building hope, strengthening communities, and saving lives.

March 2026 Community ASIST Workshop

The Su***de Prevention Training Institute is proud to announce the successful completion of our most recent Applied Su***de Intervention Skills Training Workshop. This important milestone reflects not only the time and effort each participant dedicated throughout the training but also a shared commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Throughout the workshop, participants engaged in powerful conversations, developed essential skills, and strengthened their ability to recognize when someone may be struggling and respond with care, confidence, and compassion. By completing this training, each individual has taken an important step toward creating safer, more supportive communities.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all participants. You are now part of a growing network of advocates for su***de prevention—individuals who are ready, willing, and able to step in, listen, and support someone in need. Your dedication to learning and your willingness to act are what help turn awareness into action and hope into possibility.

Thank you for your commitment to this critical work and for being a voice for prevention, connection, and care.

Congratulations to the Latest ASIST Participants!

The Su***de Prevention Training Institute hosted a Community Applied Su***de Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) Workshop for the Greater Tampa Bay Community. Ten new Community Partners are now equipped with the tools and confidence to have that difficult conversation with someone with thoughts of su***de.

The attendees’ commitment to fostering empathy, understanding effective intervention strategies, promoting help-seeking behaviors, and providing support to those in need is truly exemplary, resulting in 10 more individuals trained and dedicated to making a difference in someone’s life.

The Su***de Prevention Training Institute has reached a strategic milestone, offering 12 workshops in one year, with this most recent workshop marking the culmination of this achievement. The Institute has trained 350 participants since its inception.

At the conclusion of the workshop, the Institute acknowledged its Board of Directors’ President, Mary Ann Yaney, for her unwavering commitment and support to the organization for the last 6 years. Mary Ann is the Board President every non-profit could ever wish for, and we are beyond thrilled that she supports SPTI!
