SafeTALK is a suicide prevention program that teaches people to become suicide-aware so that they may intervene skillfully when a person is having suicidal ideations. This 4-hour training prepares participants to recognize the hints and signs that a person is having thoughts of suicide—hints they might otherwise miss without the training. After being SafeTALK certified, trainees are armed with the skills to save lives.

-
Learn the skills to identify a person who is having suicidal ideations
