safeTALK Training: Suicide Prevention for Everyone
safeTALK Training - English

The SPEAKER Group and Sisters Taking On The Prevention Of Suicide (https://helpstopsuicides.org/) are partnering to provide safeTALK training for everyone interested in becoming a lifesaver.

SafeTALK is a half-day alertness training that prepares anyone 15 or older, regardless of prior experience or training, to become a suicide-alert helper. Most people with thoughts of suicide don’t truly want to die, but are struggling with the pain in their lives. Through their words and actions, they invite help to stay alive. safeTALK-trained helpers can recognize these invitations and take action by connecting them with life-saving intervention resources, such as caregivers trained in ASIST.

Over the course of their training, safeTALK participants will learn to:
– Notice and respond to situations where suicide thoughts might be present
– Recognize that invitations for help are often overlooked
– Move beyond the common tendency to miss, dismiss, and avoid suicide
– Apply the TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen, and KeepSafe
– Know community resources and how to connect someone with thoughts of suicide to them for further help

Training features:
– Presentations and guidance from a LivingWorks registered trainer
– Access to support from a local community resource person
– Powerful audiovisual learning aids
– The simple yet effective TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen, and KeepSafe
– Hands-on skills practice and development
