safeTALK Presentation

Suicide Prevention Awareness Network & Bendigo Community Health Services

<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN>safeTALK is a half-day presentation to increase suicide alertness. This program alerts community members to signs that a person may be considering suicide. It acknowledges that while most people at risk of suicide signal distress and invite help, these intervention opportunities are often overlooked. Through this training participants learn to recognise when someone may have thoughts of suicide and to respond in ways that link them with further suicide intervention help. </SPAN></P>
