safeTALK is a 4-hour, in-person workshop to build skills in suicide prevention. Participants will learn how to recognize and engage with someone thinking about suicide, overcome attitudes that act as barriers to help, talk openly about suicide and connect with intervention resources for further support.

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.

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

Registration is required, space is limited.

Sisters in Spirit Day is a day we honour the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQ+ peoples (MMIWG2S). In 2021, the rate of gender-related homicide of Indigenous victims was more than triple that of gender-related homicides of women and girls overall.

Join the Office of Indigenous Initiatives, Student Health and Wellness, and the Office of Human Rights and Equity for a Tea & Chat to honour the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQ+ peoples, learn about the 231 Calls for Justice from the National Inquiry into MMIWG2S, and implement a Call to Justice within your own life.

The Office of Indigenous Initiatives will be having a sacred fire on October 4th to allow for the community to gather, talk, remember, and hold vigil. 

• Sacred Fire Date: October 4th, 2023
• Time: 9 AM - 4 PM
• Location: Tipi (behind Simcoe Hall)
