CMHA’s next safeTALK suicide alertness training is on Sept. 14, 1:00-4:30 pm.

safeTALK is a half-day training in suicide alertness. It helps participants recognize a person with thoughts of suicide and connect them with resources who can help them in choosing to live. Participants don’t need any formal preparation to attend the training—anyone age 15 or older who wants to make a difference can learn the safeTALK steps.

FOCUS: Suicide alertness training for the community DURATION: 3 hours–4 hours (half a day) LANGUAGES: English and French

PARTICIPANTS: Anyone 15 or older
TRAINERS: One trainer and one community resource person per 15–30 participants

How safeTALK works
Most people with thoughts of suicide don’t want to die—instead, they are looking for a way to work through the pain in their lives. Through their words
and actions, they usually invite others to help them in making a choice for life. safeTALK teaches participants to recognize these invitations, engage with the person with thoughts of suicide, and connect them with resources to help them be safer from suicide. These resources could include health care professionals, first responders, or crisis line workers—among many others who have suicide intervention training.
