SAFETALK – Suicide Alertness for Everyone
SafeTALK is a three hour presentation which aims to increase suicide awareness by teaching participants how to recognise signs of a person in distress and considering suicide. Participants learn how to respond appropriately to a person considering suicide and how to use available resources to link that person with professional help.
It is intended that SafeTALK participants will be better prepared to:
- Recognise that invitations to help are often overlooked
- Move beyond common tendencies to miss, dismiss and avoid conversations around suicide
- Notice and respond to situations in which thoughts of suicide may be present
- Apply basic TALK steps (Tell, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe)
- Connect the person with thoughts of suicide to suicide first aid help and further community resources
