SafeTALK trainees learn to recognize when someone is thinking about suicide and connect them to an intervention provider.
SafeTALK is a four-hour face-to-face or online workshop featuring powerful presentations, audiovisuals, and skills practice. At a safeTALK workshop, you’ll learn how to prevent suicide by recognizing signs, engaging someone, and connecting them to an intervention resource for further support.
