Building confidence to support someone who may be struggling
What it is
safeTALK is a suicide alertness training workshop presented by Chris Pidd.
It’s designed to help community members recognise when someone may be having thoughts of suicide and feel more prepared to connect them with support.
How it works
Chris delivers the training in a way that makes a difficult topic accessible and practical.
The focus is on helping people feel more confident noticing signs and taking simple, supportive steps.
