SafeTALK Suicide Prevention Training
About This Event
Learn how to support someone’s desire for safety by recognizing the warning signs of suicide, identifying people who are at risk, and applying the TALK steps (Tell, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe) to connect a person to suicide first aid resources. Listed on the national best practice registry, SafeTALK allows time for both practice and discussion. SafeTALK is based on research that shows people experiencing thoughts of suicide often send out subtle invitations to help them stay safe. This four-hour class is for members of the community over the age of 16 who want to learn and practice the basic best practices in suicide prevention. This class has been approved by the Board of Social Work to provide 4 CEU’s upon completion. *Bonus- stay after for lunch and a talk from Rev, Dr, Rachael Keefe, author of The Lifesaving Church: Faith Communities and Suicide Prevention, who will discuss theology around suicide, and the dangers that faith communities should avoid. Email [email protected] if you’d like lunch*
