SafeTALK (Suicide Alertness For Everyone) Workshop 2019 T2 - Flinders Street

safeTALK is a half-day alertness workshop that helps to prepare people regardless of prior experience or training, to become a suicide-alert helper. Suicide affects people from all walks of life and the more it can be discussed, the more we can make a change. This training aims at giving you important tools to help you to recognise when someone is in need and take action by connecting them with appropriate intervention resources.

At the training you will learn to:

- Notice and respond to situations in which thoughts of suicide may be present.
- Apply basic TALK steps (Tell, Ask, Listen & KeepSafe).
- Connect the person with thoughts of suicide first aid help and further community resources.

Please note: the course does contain some highly emotive content and may raise some difficult issues for people. The 3 1/2 hours is relatively content heavy and therefore doesn’t provide a lot of room for debriefing about issues raised for individuals within the session. There will, however, be members of the Counselling Services Team on hand at the training if any support is needed during or after the training.

Conditions:
Attendees must be there for the entire session.
The session cannot be recorded or delivered on-line due to the confidential nature of the workshop.
