SafeTALK is open to anyone 15 or older, regardless of prior experience. Both professionals and members of the general public can benefit from SafeTALK. Most people with thoughts of suicide invite help to stay safe. Alert helpers know how to use these opportunities to support that desire for safety. As a SafeTALK-trained suicide alert helper, you will be better able to move beyond common tendencies to miss, dismiss or avoid suicide. If you have lost someone to suicide within the past 6 months you may want to consider whether it is too early in your loss to attend this type of training. Participants must be present the entire three hours. Contact hours are available for Social Worker and LMHC. Interested participants will be provided with a link at the end of the class with instructions on how to proceed including payment of the event fee and service. CASAC credits (existing CASAC’s only) are also available
