safeTALK (suicide alertness for everyone, Talk, Ask, Listen and Keep Safe) Training
Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among youth between the ages of 10 and 24 and accounts for 4,600 lives lost every year (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention). Most people with thoughts of suicide invite help but often these opportunities are missed, dismissed or avoided – leaving people more alone and at greater risk.
safeTALK (suicide alertness for everyone, Talk, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe) is a 3 hour, no cost training
that prepares anyone over the age of 15 to identify persons with thoughts of suicide and
connect them to suicide first aid resources.
Training is provided by LivingWorks Education.
