I am writing to invite you to a safeTALK workshop facilitated by Lesley Mak on Wednesday, December 7th. The training for this workshop will help you learn the four basic steps to recognizing persons with thoughts of suicide and will teach you how to connect them with suicide helping resources. safeTALK will allow you to feel equipped to respond to students who indicate that they may have thoughts of suicide.
Contrary to popular belief, most people with thoughts of suicide invite help. Often these opportunities are missed, dismissed or avoided-- leaving people more alone and at great risk. safeTALK training prepares you to help by using TALK (Tell, Ask, Listen, KeepSafe) to identify and engage people with thoughts of suicide and to connect them with further help and care. SafeTALK is a World Health Organization approved training module
This is an interactive and engaging workshop that takes place in an understanding and supportive environment, facilitated by Lesley Mak.
DATE: Wednesday, December 7th,
TIME: 9:30am-1pm **you must be able to attend the full session.**
COST: FREE
LOCATION: TBA
