A half day suicide aware module to heighten suicide awareness and the signs that someone is considering ending his or her life.

LivingWorks safeTALK is a half-day awareness program to increase suicide alertness to signs that a person may be considering suicide. The program acknowledges that while most people at risk of suicide signal their distress and invite help, these intervention opportunities are often overlooked. Participants learn to recognise when someone may have thoughts of suicide and to respond in ways that link them with further suicide intervention help. Suicide alert helpers contribute to a suicide-safer community.

If you have lost someone to suicide in the last year or so, please speak with one of our training team members before participating in a safeTALK workshop. We recommend that you delay your participation although we appreciate that everyone grieves differently. 

When you reserve your place at this workshop, we ask that you do not attend if you are feeling unwell on the day of the event or during the days leading up to it.  Let us know if you can beforehand so that we are able to adjust catering.
