What is safeTALK?
LivingWorks safeTALK is a 3-4 hour, in-person workshop to build skills in suicide prevention. Participants will learn how to recognize and engage with someone thinking about suicide, overcome attitudes that act as barriers to help, talk openly about suicide, and connect with intervention resources for further support.

Upon completion, participants will receive an official safeTALK certification from LivingWorks as well as resources for future reference. To learn more about safeTALK and LivingWorks, please visit: https://livingworks.net/training/livingworks-safetalk/.
