This session prepares participants to recognize people who are having thoughts of suicide by applying the TALK steps (Tell, Ask, Listen, KeepSafe) and connect them to a suicide first-aid intervention caregiver.  Powerful videos illustrate the importance of suicide alertness, while discussion and practice simulate learning.

All participants must attend the full 3 hours to receive their certificate of completion.  Participants will also receive program materials including a workbook.
