Preventing Suicides With Training, Faith & Action
TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
Our Suicide Awareness Training program teaches how to reduce the risk of suicide by recognizing signs, asking tough questions, and connecting those at risk to an intervention resource for more specialized support. Our classes are available at the lowest rates for communities from teenagers in middle school high school to military veterans and first responders. The life-saving skills learned using SafeTalk techniques are perfect for organizations and individuals serious about suicide prevention.
