This half-day training is designed to make you a
“suicide-alert helper.” You will learn
how to recognize when someone with suicidal thoughts is reaching out to you for
help and how to connect them with appropriate intervention resources.
Having
safeTALK-trained helpers is important for healthy communities and settings. Hands-on
practice with a certified trainer will teach you how to move through the TALK
steps:
