Safe Talk | Carman

About the Workshop

In LivingWorks safeTALK you will learn how to reach out to someone thinking about suicide and help them keep safe by promptly connecting them to further support. Your role as a connector is the main focus of this training. You will also be encouraged and empowered to talk openly with someone about suicide through a 4-step model. Overcoming personal and community attitudes to seeking and providing help is a key theme of this training.

Who should attend: All staff who feel this session would benefit their roles at Southern Health-Santé Sud are encouraged to register. (Public Health / Mental Health staff will be prioritized).
