Suicide Prevention & Risk

This training provides practical skills for recognizing and responding to suicide risk in your community or workplace. Participants will learn key information about suicide—including current patterns, risk factors, protective factors, and warning signs—to better understand when someone may be struggling.

You’ll be introduced to the SAFE‑T model, a widely used framework that guides suicide assessment and intervention. Through discussion, examples, and guided practice, you’ll learn how to use this model to support someone who may be thinking about suicide.

The training also focuses on offering compassionate, effective support to people experiencing suicidal ideation and on connecting them with the resources they need. You’ll learn why follow-up matters, what your role can look like, and how to make referrals in a supportive and appropriate way.

Because suicide prevention is not one‑size‑fits‑all, we will explore the importance of sociocultural awareness and how factors like identity, community, and lived experience shape someone’s risk and experience of support.

Participants will practice asking directly about suicide, learn how to notice their own emotional responses, and understand the value of seeking supervision and support for themselves when working with people at risk.

Objectives:

• Outline key information about suicide, including current patterns, risk and protective factors, and common warning signs.
• Explain how the SAFE‑T process guides suicide assessment and intervention and how it is used to support individuals at risk.
• Provide effective support to people who are experiencing suicidal ideation.
• Recognize appropriate resources and facilitate referrals to ensure individuals receive needed care.
• Describe why timely follow-up—within the scope of your role—is critical for those at elevated suicide risk.
• Discuss the role of sociocultural awareness and sensitivity in effective suicide prevention efforts.
• Confidently ask someone directly about whether they are having thoughts of suicide.
• Reflect on your own emotional reactions and internal responses when supporting someone who may be suicidal.
• Acknowledge the value of seeking supervision and personal support when working with individuals at risk.
