Who should attend safeTALK training?
safeTALK offers valuable skills to attendees and requires no formal training or prior experience in suicide prevention. As it only takes half a day to learn, safeTALK is an excellent tool for anyone who wants to learn basic but invaluable skills.
What can I expect at safeTALK training?
safeTALK is a powerful experience. You can expect to feel challenged, empowered, and hopeful. Your safeTALK trainer will demonstrate the importance of suicide alertness and help you identify ways people invite help when they’re having thoughts of suicide. safeTALK’s steps provide a simple yet effective method to engage with people having suicide thoughts and connect them with resources that can carry out a full-scale intervention. During training, you’ll have a chance to practice these skills and can expect to leave safeTALK with practical knowledge of how to identify someone having thoughts of suicide and link them to life-saving resources.
Learning goals and objectives:

• Notice and respond to situations where suicide thoughts might be present.

• Move beyond the common tendency to miss, dismiss, and avoid suicide.
