• Move beyond the common tendency to miss, dismiss, and avoid suicide,

• Apply the TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen, KeepSafe, and

• Know community resources and how to connect someone with thoughts of suicide to them for further suicide-safer help

This training is for anyone 15 years old or older. However, for attendees 15-17 years old, we will ensure a parent/guardian is aware of participation.
