SafeTALK
safeTALK is a workshop for anyone in the community that prepares participants to identify and engage people with thoughts of suicide and connect them with further help and care. (3.5 hours). Most people with thoughts of suicide invite help. Often these opportunities are missed, dismissed or avoided - leaving people more alone and at greater risk. safeTALK training prepares you to help by using TALK (Tell, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe) to identify and engage people with thoughts of suicide and to connect them with further help and care.
Who should attend safeTALK?
Anyone who might want to help; minimum age 15 years.
