The level of deaths by suspected suicide in the Jobstown, West

THE TRAINING

SafeTALK is an international evidence based half-day training

who might be having thoughts of suicide, and to connect them with
community resources. The programme stresses safety while challenging
taboos that inhibit open talk about suicide. The training is provided
by the HSE to organisations, education settings, local communities and
government bodies.

THE PROCESS

On 2nd March **Apply on the website** community leaders from Jobstown
attended SafeTALK (Suicide Alertness for Everyone) training.

to Talk to?. The community then produced a video showcasing this
work and naming the community leaders who were ?Safe to Talk to?.
