As part of our system goals to supporting student & staff wellness, we are pleased to offer safeTALK training for parents/guardians of the WRDSB.
What is safeTALK?
safeTALK is a three-hour alertness workshop that prepares participants, regardless of prior experience or training, to become a suicide alert helper.
What are the goals and objectives of safeTALK?
- Recognize that invitations to help are often overlooked
- Move beyond common tendencies to miss, dismiss and avoid suicide
- Notice and respond to situations in which thoughts of suicide may be present
- Apply basic TALK steps (Tell, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe)
Interested in participating?
Parents/guardians may register for any session. Please be aware that pre-registration is a must, as a spot will be saved for you. Please let us know if you are unable to attend after registering for a session.
