LivingWorks SafeTALK

2. Identify ways in which personal, cultural, and social attitudes can lead people to miss, dismiss, and avoid opportunities to seek or provide help.

3. Describe the four TALK steps that enable helpers to facilitate safe connections.

4. Demonstrate basic skills in applying these TALK steps.

5. Know how to connect someone to community resources that help them keep safe from suicide.

6. Explain how safety connectors contribute to building a Network of Safety in their organization or community.
