FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here are answers to some common questions people ask before attending the assist workshop.

What is an assist?

An assist is a simple, hands-on technique that helps restore calm, comfort, and clarity. It’s designed to help both body and mind recover from stress or upset and bring a person back into the present moment.

Who can attend the workshop?

The Assist Workshop is open to everyone — anyone who wants to learn simple, effective tools to help others and themselves.

People of all faiths, backgrounds, and beliefs are welcome.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, student, or simply someone who enjoys helping others, you’ll learn practical skills you can use in everyday life to bring calm, comfort, and understanding.

How long does one assist take?

Most assists take just a few minutes to learn and apply. During the workshop, you’ll both learn the technique and have the chance to experience it yourself.

Will I only learn how to give assists, or will I also receive one?

You’ll do both! Each participant learns by practicing with a partner — so you’ll both give and receive assists during the class.

Do I need any prior experience?

No experience is needed. Everything is taught step by step, and trained Volunteer Ministers will guide you through the process.

How often can I use or receive an assist?

As often as you like. Many people use assists whenever they or someone they know feels tired, stressed, or out of balance.

What Participants Say

Read real stories from people who found calm, relief, and renewed strength through Assist techniques.

“Before there were many times when my four-year-old son had pain in his legs. Usually he used to have that kind of pain when I was tired myself and did not have any strength left to handle him.

But when I learned about the assists and started applying them, I could handle him and put him back to sleep in often less than five minutes. This has helped us a lot. He was able to sleep seemingly painless and I have been so relieved to have found a way to help him and my entire family (because they suffered too). It is so easy, when you know what to do. I wish everybody would know about this and try it.” — M.H.

“Of everything I’ve learned in this life and any action I have taken, learning and using the assists tech is one of the most profound. These simple and humble techniques have the power to change people’s lives, ease pains, heal old wounds, and even just make their outlook brighter and more positive. What greater good can a person do than to help another heal? I cannot think of one.

Sometimes, the person getting an assist only knows that they feel happier and more relaxed, yet does not notice that as they walk away, they’re standing straighter, are more extroverted, or aren’t limping anymore." — R.L.

"Since I have applied the assists, I have had the capacity to help and to influence the body and its well-being.

It is a wonderful thing to see people get well and change their lives. Now I have more friends and I have started to teach about assists in the organizations I belong to.

Now my life has a practical motivation, and I know that I will be helping people for a long time, because I have found a powerful way to contribute not just to my community but my whole country.” — F.N.
