Description [EN]
What is safeTALK? safeTALK is a half-day training in suicide alertness. It helps participants recognize a person with thoughts of suicide and connect them with suicide first-aid resources. What will I get out of a safeTALK suicide prevention workshop? safeTALK teaches participants how to become suicide-alert helpers. Suicide-alert helpers are better prepared to connect persons with thoughts of suicide to suicide first-aid resources. Over the course of the training, safeTALK participants will learn to: 1. notice and respond to situations where suicide thoughts may be present; 2. recognize that invitations for help are often overlooked; 3. move beyond the common tendency to miss, dismiss, and avoid suicide; 4. apply the TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen, KeepSafe; 5. know community resources and how to connect someone with thoughts of suicide to them for further suicide-safer help.
