safeTALK Training – Suicide Alertness for Everyone

Learn four simple steps to recognize individuals with thoughts of suicide and connect them to the resources they need. This 3-hour training can empower you to make a real difference.

Why attend safeTALK?
Most people with thoughts of suicide signal for help, but these opportunities are often missed or avoided, leaving individuals feeling more alone and at greater risk. safeTALK teaches you the TALK method (Tell, Ask, Listen, KeepSafe) to identify and engage those in need and guide them to the support they deserve.

Certification provided upon completion.

Our Services

WUSA recognizes that much of the work we do happens on the traditional territory of the neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. The land we work on is covered by the Between the Lakes Treaty, No. 3 (1792), and this region is still home to First Nation, Inuit, and Metis peoples from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work, play and live on this land and acknowledge that it is our collective responsibility to make our community and world a better place for all people. We acknowledge that educational institutions have not been a safe space for Indigenous students in the past and we continue to work to ensure that this is no longer the case.

The work towards truth and reconciliation is ongoing, please do your part and take time to learn more: TRC 94 Calls to Action | MMIWG Calls to Justice Report | Native-Land.ca | Student Supports & Clubs
