safeTALK…suicide alertness for everyone
Looking to bring greater awareness of suicide to your organization and/or community? 
Interested in becoming a safeTALK Trainer?  
Arizona Suicide Prevention Coalition, Inc. (AZSPC) is sponsoring an upcoming safeTALK Training for Trainers (T4T). We are committed to expanding our trainer network in AZ and beyond, while enhancing our capability to respond to the growing need and demand for suicide alertness training in the communities we serve.  That means we need you! 

safeTALK is a half-day alertness training that prepares anyone over the age of 15, regardless of prior experience or training, to become a suicide-alert helper. Most people with thoughts of suicide don’t truly want to die, but are struggling with the pain in their lives. Through their words and actions, they invite help to stay alive. safeTALK-trained helpers can recognize these invitations and take action by connecting them with life-saving intervention resources, such as caregivers trained in ASIST.  As a safeTALK Trainer, you will help participants become better able to:
Notice and respond to situations where suicide thoughts might be present Recognize that invitations for help are often overlooked Move beyond the common tendency to miss, dismiss, and avoid suicide Apply the TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen, and KeepSafe Know community resources and how to connect someone with thoughts of suicide to them for further help.
