Suicide Prevention Training

SafeTALK 

If you were concerned that someone was suicidal, would you know how to approach the topic or what steps to take to get them to the help they need?  If you don't know where to start to safely have the conversation, you may be tempted to put it off.  But there is training available that can teach you in a matter of hours what to do if you're concerned for someone else.

SafeTALK or "Suicide Alertness for Everyone" is an internationally recognised half day training programme which increases suicide alertness. It prepares participants  to identify those at risk of suicide and teaches them how to connect them with suicide first-aid resources and specialist supports. 

3Ts provides this training workshop free of charge to interested groups and organisations.  Our fundraising activities cover the larger cost of the initiative. 

As an accredited safeTALK training provider, we've delivered this training to all sorts of businesses, sports clubs, community organisations, the Defence Forces, other NGOs such as the Simon Community and to third level colleges.  Those who benefit from this specialised suicide alertness training have been able to put their training into action in their homes and workplaces, sports clubs and wider communities.

"Before this training, I felt I would be completely unprepared to deal with the situation of a person thinking of suicide, but now I feel much more confident"
