SafeTALK

Learn how to support someone’s desire for safety by recognizing the warning signs of suicide, identifying people who are at risk, and applying the TALK steps (Tell, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe) to connect a person to suicide first aid resources. Listed on the national best practice registry, safeTALK allows time for both practice and discussion. safeTALK is based on research that shows people experiencing thoughts of suicide often send out subtle invitations to help them stay safe. This class is for members of the community over the age of 16 who want to learn and practice the basic best practices in suicide prevention.

Bryce Premo and Melisa Gronlund will be the trainers.

Please note that ASIST and safeTALK are 2 different trainings. If you’ve taken ASIST already, this will be a great refresh opportunity on your suicide alertness!
