  SafeTALK is a 4-hour training that prepares participants to become suicide-alert helpers. Organizations going through WCWI's Mental Health in the Workplace Certificate are encouraged to invite teams and leaders to participate in this training.

Safe-TALK helpers are capable of recognizing such invitations and springing into action.

  Over the course of their training, SafeTALK participants will:

  • Acquire the skills you need to identify and help a friend in need
  • Get trained in suicide alertness skills.
  • Learn to avoid the common tendency to miss, dismiss, and avoid suicide
  • Learn to apply the TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen, and KeepSafe
  • Become familiar with community resources and be able connect someone with suicidal thought with necessary help

  Training features:

  • Presentations and guidance from a LivingWorks registered trainer
  • Access to support from local community resource personnel
  • Powerful audio-visual learning aids
  • Simple, yet effective TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen, and KeepSafe
  • Hands-on skills practice and development
