SuicideTALK, developed by LivingWorks Education, is a 1.5- to 2-hour exploration in suicide awareness. Organized around the question, “Should we talk about suicide?” it provides a structure in which session members can safely explore some of the most challenging attitudinal issues about suicide, and encourages every member to find a part that they can play in preventing suicide.

SuicideTALK is aimed at most all members of and groups in a community. Its goal is to help make direct, open and honest talk about suicide easier. Such talk may:
 encourage life-protection, preservation and promotion activities,
 facilitate community awareness of suicide as a serious community health problem,
 reduce the stigma and taboo surrounding suicide,
 increase personal commitment to and action in preventing suicide, and
 support the spread of training opportunities and networking activities.

SuicideTALK is an exploration of the question, “Should we talk about suicide?” Ways to help a person at risk are discussed and session members then examine the range of things they could do to help prevent suicide.
