LivingWorks safeTALK is a half-day, face-to-face suicide alertness workshop that empowers people to recognise when someone may be thinking about suicide, respond with confidence, and connect them to life-saving support. Designed for anyone aged 16 and over, safeTALK requires no prior experience and is ideal for individuals, workplaces, and community groups. Through guided learning, participants learn to notice the signs that someone may be experiencing challenges, engage in open and honest conversations, and link people at risk with appropriate professional help and resources. The program recognises that many people experiencing suicidal thoughts signal their distress, yet these opportunities for help are often missed. By completing safeTALK, participants become Suicide Safety Connectors, strengthening the Network of Safety and contributing to suicide-safer communities.

Course participants learn about the latest research in the mental health field, work through complex mental health first aid interactions, and practice their mental health first aid skills across a range of mental health problems and mental health crisis situations. Participants can complete a short assessment at the end of the course to extend your Mental Health First Aid Accreditation for a further 3 years.
