SafeTALK – Suicide Alertness For Everyone
This is a half-day course that can help you make a difference. Learn to identify people with thoughts of suicide and connect them to suicide first aid resources. This training prepares you to be a suicide alert helper by following the TALK steps (Tell, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe). These steps offer initial help in order to connect people having thoughts of suicide with more specialised support.
Places are free and open to all Brighton & Hove residents, 16 years and older, who want to learn suicide alertness skills. But spaces are limited so please book using the booking link below.
Course is organised by Grassroots Suicide Prevention and funded by Public Health, Brighton & Hove City Council.

The Valley Social Centre is well served by the number 1/1A/21/21A buses (the St Cuthmans Church stop) and has a small car park with overflow on-street free parking. The building is next door to the St Cuthmans Church, and is made mainly from corrugated steel, with a large sign on the front saying “Café Open”. If entering from the street you need to go down some stairs to reach the entrance.
