safeTALK is a three and a half hour face-to-face workshop featuring powerful presentations, audiovisuals, and skills practice surrounding suicide alertness. Community members learn how to prevent suicide by recognizing signs, engaging someone, and connecting them to an intervention resource for further support. TCHNetwork’s supportive trainers guide the class through the course, and a community resource is on hand to support safety and comfort.
