Participants of this workshop will learn how to: ⦁ Notice and respond to situations where suicide thoughts may 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, Keep Safe, and ⦁ Know community resources and how to connect someone with thoughts of suicide to them for further suicide-safer help.
