Over the course of their training, safeTALK participants will learn to: • Notice and respond to situations where suicide thoughts may be present, • Recognize that invitations for help are often overlooked, • Move beyond the common tendency to miss, dismiss, and avoid suicide, • Apply the TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen, KeepSafe, and • Know community resources and how to connect someone with thoughts of suicide to them for further suicide-safer help This training is for anyone 15 years old or older. However, for attendees 15-17 years old, we will ensure a parent/guardian is aware of participation.
