About this Event

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 four-hour 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. This class has been approved by the Board of Social Work to provide 4 CEU’s upon completion.

NOTE: This class is hosted by , a collaborative of Twin Cities faith communities working together to help destigmatize mental illness and make sure all are able to find the help they need. They have a grant to cover the cost of the workshop for all participants. Because space is limited, if you need to withdraw from the class please contact safeTALK instructor so we can open your seat for someone else.
