If there are not currently any open community trainings, you can RSVP here to be notified of future trainings. Sometimes we are able to open up seats in agency trainings if they are not completely full. We typically know if there are available seats about 2 weeks in advance. 

Feel free to review our currently scheduled agency training dates for your planning purposes!

SafeTALK - Suicide Alertness For Everyone - is a half-day workshop that trains participants to become alert helpers who can recognize individuals with thoughts of suicide, engage them in direct and open talk about suicide, and quickly connect them with someone who can do a more in-depth suicide intervention. Recognized in SAMHSA’s and the Suicide Prevention Resource Center’s national registry of best practices, this approach bolsters an overall network of safety by improving trainee skills and readiness with better skill retention compared to other connector programs. Although many professional caregivers use SafeTALK, anyone 15 or older can learn these life-saving skills. More information about SafeTALK can be found here: livingworks.net/safetalk.

What you’ll get:

• Skills to recognize warning signs of individuals with thoughts of suicide
• A framework for how to effectively engage a person with thoughts of suicide
• Opportunities to practice connecting a person with thoughts of suicide to someone who can provide a suicide intervention
• Training workbook, learning aids, and localized resources
• Certificate of completion
• 3.5 CEs through the Oregon NASW Chapter for interested participants
