dc.description	safeTALK is an internationally recognised half-day training programme that prepares participants to recognise and engage with people who may be having thoughts of suicide and to connect them to suicide first aid resources. Most people with thoughts of suicide don’t truly want to die, but are struggling with the pain in their lives. Through their words and actions, they invite help to stay alive. safeTALK-trained helpers can recognise these invitations for help and take action by supporting people to connect with life-saving resources, supports and services. safeTALK is a powerful experience. You can expect to feel challenged, empowered and hopeful. Your safeTALK trainer will support you to: • Understand the importance of suicide alertness and help you to identify people who have thoughts of suicide • Learn clear and practical information on what to do if you need to support someone who is at risk of suicide • Learn and practice the TALK (Tell, Ask, Listen, and Keep safe) steps to connect a person with suicidal thoughts to suicide first aid help and further community resources • Have increased knowledge of resources in your local community. You can expect to leave safeTALK with practical knowledge of how to identify someone at risk and link them to life-saving resources.	en_US
