Introduction

suicideTALK can be delivered by anyone who has attended a suicide intervention training course such as ASIST or STORM.

The sessions are suitable for large or small groups and with people of many ages. To deliver suicideTALK all individual’s will need to do is sign a form to confirm they have received suicide intervention skills training, and purchase the training pack.

After the session lease trainers must remember to return the feedback forms from the day.
