It is designed to play a role in mobilising participants’ resolve to work
toward the creation of suicide-safer communities. SuicideTALK is
suitable for almost any community audience and assumes no prior
knowledge of suicide. It may also be particularly valuable in professional services where the accent
has been on intervention knowledge and skills with little opportunity for workers to consider how their
attitudes and beliefs about suicide affect their work. Cost: Call for a quote.
