safeTALK: suicide alertness for everyone
safeTALK is a half-day training in suicide alertness. It helps participants recognize a person
with thoughts of suicide and connect them with resources who can help them in choosing
to live. Participants don’t need any formal preparation to attend the training—anyone
age 15 or older who wants to make a difference can learn the safeTALK steps.
**Participants receive a certificate for 3.5 contact hours at the end of the workshop. This program is accredited and has been accepted by Missouri Credentialing boards.
Goals and objectives
safeTALK helps participants become alert to suicide.
Suicide-alert people are better prepared to connect
persons with thoughts of suicide with life-affirming help.
Over the course of their training, safeTALK participants
will learn to:
• Notice and respond to situations where suicide
thoughts may be present,
• Recognize that invitations for help are often
overlooked,
• Move beyond the common tendency to miss,
dismiss, and avoid suicide,
• Apply the TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen, KeepSafe, and
• Know community resources and how to connect
someone with thoughts of suicide to them for
further suicide-safer help.
