SafeTALK is a half-day suicide alertness training that prepares attendees, regardless of prior experience or training, to become a suicide-alert helper.

Most people with thoughts of suicide don’t truly want to die, but are struggling with the pain in their lives.

Through their words and actions, they invite help to stay alive!

SafeTALK suicide alert helpers are trained to move beyond common tendencies to miss, dismiss or avoid suicide.


What happens at the SafeTALK training?

  • Expect to feel challenged, empowered and hopeful.
  • See video clips which illustrate both non-alert and alert responses.
  • Ask questions and enter discussions.
