safeTALK: A Suicide Prevention Workshop

Please join us for safeTALK, a suicide intervention workshop facilitated by high school students from the Archdiocese of Seattle’s Catholic Lifesaver Corps.

How safeTALK works

Most people with thoughts of suicide don’t want to die—instead, they are looking for a way to work through the pain in their lives. Through their words and actions, they usually invite others to help them in making a choice for life.

Who can attend?

Middle and High School Students. Parents and community members are highly encouraged to attend as well.

When
Saturday, November 18th 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Where
St. James Cathedral – Pastoral Outreach Center – Holy Names Room
907 Columbia Street, Seattle, WA 98104

Goals and objectives

This three-hour suicide alertness training helps participants recognize a person with thoughts of suicide and connects them with resources to help them choose to live. Participants don’t need any formal preparation to attend the training—anyone who wants to make a difference can learn the safeTALK steps. There will be scheduled breaks and opportunities to practice the skills built in the workshop, including practice on how to talk about this subject with others.
