safeTALK Suicide Prevention Training
Thank you for registering for safeTALK suicide prevention training.
Please note that the safeTALK training is a four hour class, delivered in person, and participants are required to attend the full class to both participate and earn certification.
Do you know how to recognize if someone might be having thoughts of suicide? Do you know what to say if you do? safeTALK is for everyone who wants to learn how to recognize when someone might be thinking of suicide, talk with them to find out for sure and connect them to help and resources.
Any one of us can learn to notice the signs of suicide, to approach and talk with someone needing help and connect them to help and resources. That’s why it is so important that we all know what to look for, what to say and where to connect someone to. Suicide prevention is everyone’s business and safeTALK shows you how to help prevent suicide.
