SafeTALK training

SafeTALK is an accredited course, and all participants will receive a SafeTALK manual and a certificate of attendance provided by Public Health Scotland.

This is a half day workshop which teaches participants how to provide initial support to someone who is having thoughts of suicide.

What SafeTALK teaches

• Recognising suicidal thoughts: identify signs and invitations for help that are often missed, dismissed, or avoided.
• Overcoming barriers: gain confidence to talk openly and directly about suicide, challenging common myths.
• The TALK steps: a practical framework for immediate action.
• Connecting to care: learn how to link people at risk with specialized support and intervention services. 

SafeTALK is available to staff and students, if you would like to attend please email kelly.marriot@stir.ac.uk to receive the booking link.
