SafeTALK – Suicide Prevention (RCLDS)

Tuesday July 2, 9:30 am - 1:00 pm

LivingWorks safeTALK is half day in-person workshop that teaches carers the skills to identify someone with thoughts of suicide, ask them openly and directly about suicide, and connect them with resources that can help keep them safe. Using a simple yet effective model, LivingWorks safeTALK empowers everyone to make a difference.

SafeTALK workshops feature:

  • The simple yet effective TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe
  • Hands-on skills practice and development
  • Access to support from a local community resource person

Carers that complete the safeTALK training are encouraged to then take the ASIST course, which is a two-day workshop providing skills to intervene with someone who may be having thoughts of suicide, helping them feel less overwhelmed and create a safety plan with the person help them keep safe, access help, and find hope. Many communities and organisations use both safeTALK and ASIST. By working in concert, people with safeTALK and ASIST training create a larger, more effective network of safety.
