safeTALK is half-day workshop that teaches “connector skills,” including recognizing signs, engaging a person with thoughts of suicide, and connecting them to an intervention resource for safety and further support.
Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is a two-day, in-person training that teaches participants how to prevent suicide by recognizing signs, providing a skilled intervention, and developing a safety plan to keep someone alive.
Both programs are offered by crisis centres, various CMHA Branches, and other agencies.
