We have Suicide Alertness For Everyone Training (safeTALK) scheduled for: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday 2 May 2017 (1pm \u2013 5pm) in Forfar<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

This training is open to everyone (employees, employers and members of the public in Angus).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

safeTALK is designed to be an introductory course for anyone interested in learning to be suicide aware.\u00a0 <\/span>Can you recognise the signs of someone at risk of suicide?\u00a0 Would you know what to say to a colleague, student, family member or contact with thoughts of suicide?\u00a0 Most persons with thoughts of suicide go unrecognised – even though most are, directly or indirectly, requesting help.\u00a0 Without safeTALK training, these invitations to help are too rarely accepted, or even noticed.\u00a0 In only a few hours, you will learn how to recognise these invitations and provide practical help to persons with thoughts of suicide.\u00a0 Expect to leave safeTALK more willing and able to perform an important helping role for persons with thoughts of suicide.\u00a0 safeTALK is a training session for everyone in the community – no prior knowledge is required.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aim of Training:<\/strong>\u00a0 To enable participants to recognise and engage people who might be having thoughts of suicide and to connect them with community resources trained in suicide intervention.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learning outcomes:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>By the end of this course participants will:<\/span><\/p>\n
