This past few days, I was able to attend a LivingWorks safeTALK train the trainer in Arkansas along with several of my colleagues and friends. We spent two days learning about the suicide prevention program, diving into content, and sharing a great experience of working together to help our community and loved ones. This was a great experience and such an amazing program founded in research and human need.

I recommend everyone should learn the skills needed to prevent suicide, whether it be more in-depth like the ones we learned this week or even basic to better navigate a difficult conversation that could just be what someone needs to shift them back toward a life-centered mindset.
