Most people with thoughts of suicide don’t want to die—instead, they are looking for a way to work through the pain in their lives. Through their words and actions, they usually invite others to help them in making a choice for life. SafeTALK teaches participants to recognise these invitations, engage with the person with thoughts of suicide, and connect them with resources to help them be safer from suicide. These resources could include health care professionals, first responders, or crisis line workers—among many others who have suicide intervention training. The SafeTALK course was developed by Living Works and is delivered worldwide by The Mission to Seafarers.

In partnership with Stella Maris and as a part of the ITF week of action on protecting the mental health of seafarers, MtS is holding this event.

Join us to help keep seafarers and your community safe by learning how to ask the question - RUOK? and what to say and do when the answer is NO.
