As part of Feel Good Fortnight, we are hosting another opportunity to do (or redo!) this great workshop at the Exchange on Thursday 3 July. 6pm-9.30pm (arrive to register at 5.45pm)
safeTALK's proven, easy-to=follow steps are used throughout the world and are a vital part of 'Connecting For Life' the HSE's national strategy for suicide prevention.
Most people thinking about suicide don't actually want to die, but they need help deciding to stay alive.
You don't need any prior training to attend safeTALK - just a willingness to make a difference.
COURSE IS FREE, BUT REGISTRATION IS ESSENTIAL:

Understanding Self Harm is a one-day training designed to raise awareness for individuals and agencies who seek to understand more about self-harm, the reasons underlying self-harm behaviours and improve upon personal and agency responses to those who self-harm.  The training is supportive of Connecting for Life in aiming to reduce the stigma of self-harm, improve awareness and sensitivity to self-harm issues and promote effective care services for those who self-harm. The programme seeks to promote the principles of respect, understanding and choice, and is suitable for parents, teachers, youth workers, health workers, HR professionals or for individuals concerned about the wellbeing of friends or family.
