Most people with thoughts of suicide don’t truly want to die but are struggling with the pain in their lives. In safeTALK, which is a three and a half hour suicide prevention workshop, participants, regardless of prior experience or training, will gain knowledge about how to help a person that is thinking about suicide connect to the support they require. In the safeTALK training participants will learn to:
- Identify people who may have thoughts of suicide
- Ask them directly about the possibility of suicide
- Connect them to life-saving community supports and resources
