safeTALK is a four-hour training that equips people to be more alert to someone thinking of suicide and better able to connect them with further help. Using a simple yet effective model, safeTALK empowers everyone to make a difference.

In safeTALK you will learn how to reach out to someone thinking about suicide and help them keep safe by promptly connecting them to further support. Your role as a connector is the main focus of this training, which features:

Trainer presentations, facilitated discussion, and skills practice
Videos that illustrate what happens when signs of suicide are overlooked, and how you can contribute to safe outcomes when these signs are heard and addressed
Opportunities to further explore organisational applications of the training
A community resource person will be on hand at the workshop to support your safety and comfort

Through their words and actions, they invite help to stay alive. safeTALK-trained helpers can recognise these invitations and take action by connecting them with life-saving mental health support

safeTALK workshops can be arranged for your organisation or group, tailored to the needs of your staff, volunteers or members.
