safeTALK: Suicide Alertness For Everyone

safeTALK is a program developed by LivingWorks to train and certify suicide alert helpers. As a pre-service teacher,  this course will provide you with a much-needed skill set for handling crisis as well as suicide intervention with students. This course addresses the following information:

  • Learn to recognize opportunities to help a person with thoughts of suicide
  • Develop skills to provide intervention and connect with community resources, which can offer more specialized help
  • Learn and practice skills (similar to First Aid/CPR courses) to confidently and competently respond to those at risk of suicide

The benefits of this non-credit workshop are substantial and long lasting. There are employment opportunities in Canada and abroad. It is a great addition to your resume as employers look for candidates who bring with them a diverse skill set and a passion for meeting the needs of their students.
