ASIS CE03 - Safe Talk

safeTALK is a 3.5 hour workshop half-day alertness training that prepares anyone 15 or older, 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-trained helpers learn to recognize these invitations, communicating with the person considering suicide and assisting with accessing help and resources such as caregivers trained in ASIS 002 Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training.
