safeTALK is an internationally recognised ‘suicide intervention’ programme. This is a half-day workshop delivered face to face that trains individuals within the community to recognise persons that may be experiencing thoughts of suicide and to connect them to intervention resources.
safeTALK can offer an initial stepping stone towards becoming suicide aware and beginning your suicide intervention journey. As a result, safeTALK can be offered to all participants regardless of prior experience or training. By practicing the TALK steps delivered in safeTALK you become a suicide alert helper, offering potentially life-saving assistance to a person experiencing thoughts of suicide.
Why safeTALK?
People experiencing thoughts of suicide may be unaware of the support resources available to them, or they may be reluctant to approach these services due to the stigma that often surrounds suicide. A safeTALK-trained alert helper can facilitate this need – they make early recognition and connection to life-saving interventions and support possible, on a far greater scale that communities can afford to do alone. This means that the more safeTALK-trained alert helpers there are, suicide intervention caregivers will be used more often, and more lives will be saved.
