MnFIRE: LivingWorks safeTALK
Pro Network

Session Description

The statistics are well-known: Police, paramedics and firefighters are at a higher risk of dying by suicide than the average citizen. LivingWorks suicide prevention training adds a layer of support, within workplace and social networks, which can help first responders with practice and appropriate action plans to help keep their peers and the community safer from suicide. LivingWorks safeTALK is a four-hour training that equips firefighters to be more alert to someone thinking of suicide and better able to connect them with further help.
