suicideTALK Testimonials
suicideTALK is a great tool for our organization. It provides substantial talking points and information aimed at being proactive and reactive. We will continue to utilize this program as part of our quarterly training objectives.
I've managed to train around 60 police officers in my local community in suicideTALK and it's been a perfect fit regarding the time they have for training.
We've been delivering suicideTALK the past 6 years. We've had over 1000 students attend this course. We have also delivered this training to local Volunteer Centre staff just recently. Some of our ASIST trained students work with us to deliver suicideTALK within the university – once they have sat in a few times they either work with one of the staff trainers or buddy up with a more experienced student presenter and deliver the training. We always work in pairs to deliver this session.
I've delivered a couple of suicideTALKs to our local church groups. It was well received and the participants felt it was just about right in terms of content and length. I also have plans to incorporate suicideTALK into our peer support program with young adults, using some forum theatre alongside suicideTALK. It's been interesting to hear what other people are doing with suicideTALK.
