The Allegany County Suicide Prevention Coalition, in collaboration with the Wellsville Creative Arts Center, is pleased to announce a free upcoming Suicide Alertness For Everyone Training (safeTALK) in Wellsville, NY on Monday, April 9, 2018 from 5:00-8:00 p.m.
Suicide Alertness for Everyone (safeTALK) is for anyone 15 years of age or older—regardless of prior experience - who wants to be able to provide suicide first aid. SafeTALK is a FREE three-hour training in suicide alertness. It helps participants recognize a person with thoughts of suicide and connect them to suicide first aid resources. As a safeTALK-trained suicide alert helper, you will be better able to move beyond common tendencies to miss, dismiss or avoid suicide, identify people who have thoughts of suicide and apply the TALK steps (Tell, Ask, Listen and Keepsafe) to connect a person with suicide thoughts to suicide first-aid, intervention caregivers.
The Allegany County Suicide Prevention Coalition is pleased to collaborate with The Wellsville Creative Arts Center in the JustTellOne campaign entitled Servers of Hope.
The Servers of Hope campaign consists of local restaurants, taverns and social clubs in joining the efforts to encourage their bar tenders and wait staff to attend a free suicide prevention training, demonstrating that Suicide is Everybody’s Business.
Pre-registration is required by Monday, April 2nd to attend the April 9th safeTALK at the Wellsville Creative Arts Center. Please contact Patty Amidon at Ardent Solutions, Inc. at 585-593-5223 ext. 1010 or register online at www.ArdentNetwork. All attendees will be entered into a drawing to receive a free gun safe.
