Lifeline Gippsland - LivingWorks safeTALK
LivingWorks safeTALK is a half-day, face-to-face suicide alertness workshop that empowers people to recognise when someone may be thinking about suicide, respond with confidence, & connect to support.
Through guided learning, participants learn to notice the signs that someone may be experiencing challenges, engage in open and honest conversations, and link people at risk with appropriate professional help and resources. The program recognises that many people experiencing suicidal thoughts signal their distress, yet these opportunities for help are often missed. By completing safeTALK, participants become Suicide Safety Connectors, strengthening the Network of Safety and contributing to suicide-safer communities. Each workshop is delivered in person by an experienced Lifeline Gippsland safeTALK facilitator, and participants leave with practical, transferable skills they can use in everyday life. If you have lost someone to suicide in the past year, we encourage you to speak with our training team before attending, as participation may be emotionally challenging.
