The
Greater Fall River Youth
Violence Prevention Task Force hosted a four-hour Suicide Prevention
Training on March 29, 2016 in the Room
251 Restaurant at Diman
Regional Vocational High School. Paul
Gabrielle, Co-Chair of the Plymouth
County Violence Prevention Task Force and a certified SafeTALK
trainer led the interactive session.
SafeTALK is a half-day alertness training that prepares anyone over
the age of 15, regardless of prior experience or training, to become a
suicide-alert helper. Since its
development in 2006, safeTALK has been used in over 20 countries around
the world, and more than 200 selectable video vignettes have been produced
to tailor the program’s audio-visual component for diverse audiences.
safeTALK-trained helpers are an important part of suicide-safer
communities, working alongside intervention resources to identify and
avert suicide risks. Click
