safeTALK is a 4-hour, in-person workshop to build skills in suicide prevention.

Through presentations, audiovisuals, small group discussion and scenario practice, you will learn a 4-step TALK model and practical steps to help activate a suicide alert that connects people having thoughts of suicide with more specialized intervention care and relevant resources.

This workshop is free for all students, faculty, and staff.

All participants will receive a learning booklet, resources and a Certificate of Completion.

Registration is required; space is limited.
