The Wagga Wagga RSL Sub-Branch are currently seeking expressions of interest to run The SAFETALK workshop. This is a HALF DAY workshop. Below is a Summary of the workshop.
A national educational workshop to help you become more alert to suicide prevention opportunities and how to offer help.
Most people with thoughts of suicide signal their distress and invite help. These opportunities are often missed, dismissed or avoided and people feel more alone and at greater risk.
- Watch video role play reminders of why suicide alertness matters.
- Hear how open, direct talk about suicide can increase safety.
- Discuss barriers to helping and practice basic helping steps.
Who can attend: Anyone concerned about family, friends, colleagues or others in the veteran community.
