safeTALK Suicide Prevention Course: Friday Sept. 6, 2024 - 9:00am to 1:00pm
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. To bring about awareness, NAMI South Suburbs of Chicago and Sertoma Star Services has scheduled a safeTALK suicide prevention course on Friday September 6, 2024 from 9:00am to 1:00pm.
This course will help you to make a connection and help you to save a life. We have to remember that suicide is preventable and anyone can make a difference. In this half day training you will learn suicide alertness skills and four basic steps to create a life-saving connection widely used by professionals and the general public.
Studies show that participants gain confidence:
Asking people about suicide directly
Connecting them to life-saving resources
Keeping them safe until those resources take over
We hope that you will join us for this very impactful course. Registration is required. Please email Lisa Guardiola at lguardiola@sertomastar.org to register or if you have any further questions.
