SafeTALK (Suicide Alertness for Everyone) is a 3.5 hour workshop, developed by LivingWorks Education. It alerts one to warning signs indicating risk of suicide. The workshop emphasizes the importance of recognizing the signs, communicating and getting help or resources for the person with thoughts of suicide.
Participants can include but not limited to: parents and caregivers; family and friends; youth aged 16 or older; natural helpers; educators and ministers; health practitioners; justice, law enforcers, emergency workers, and community volunteers. All participants will receive a certificate at the end of the course.

Limited space available for professionals in the social services field. We know that when people are thinking about suicide they most often reach out for support from family and friends. This free training is being made available to increase suicide intervention skills in our community with a priority for general community members.
