Suicide prevention charity, 3Ts, working with our Food For Thought partners, will deliver safeTALK suicide alertness training on 28th November.
This training is free of charge for all participants and has been funded through the Food For Thought Fundraising initiative.
Bookings are now open for participating restaurants and have also been opened up to the wider public.
SafeTALK is a half day interactive training workshop that prepares participants to identify persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them to suicide first aid resources. These specific skills are called suicide alertness. Participants learn how to provide practical help to persons with thoughts of suicide. Following a safeTALK workshop you will be more willing and able to perform an important helping role for someone with thoughts of suicide.
Who should attend safeTALK training?
safeTALK offers valuable skills to attendees and requires no formal training or prior experience in suicide prevention. Because it only takes half a day to learn, safeTALK is an excellent tool for people who want to learn basic but invaluable skills. Participants must be over 18 years.
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 who are having thoughts of suicide and connect them with resources that can carry out a full-scale intervention. At the end of the training, you’ll have a chance to practice these skills firsthand. You 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:
Over the course of their training, safeTALK participants will learn to:
• Notice and respond to situations where suicide thoughts might be present.
• Recognise 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.
NOTE:
• The content of the safeTALK workshop may be difficult to deal with if you are feeling emotionally vulnerable. If you have suicidal thoughts, or have been recently bereaved, particularly through suicide, you may wish to delay taking part in this course until you're feeling stronger, emotionally.
• SafeTALK training is not recommended for anyone who has lost someone to suicide in the last 12 months.
