About SuicideTALK

SuicideTALK is a short exploration and awareness session. It can take between one to three hours with the content adapted to meet the needs of the group. The talk encourages participants to explore their attitudes and feelings about suicide, based around the question “should we talk about suicide?” It is practice-dominated and allows open and honest dialogue for anyone at all who is interested in attending.

By dispelling the myth that talking about suicide promotes suicidal behaviour, SuicideTALK provides a solid foundation for suicide prevention. It aims to reduce the stigma surrounding suicide and promote awareness within the community whilst providing an opportunity for networking among participants.

The talk is a good starting point for anyone who would like to learn more about suicide and attitudes surrounding the issue and many participants go on to attend a further 2-day ASIST workshop.

If you are interested in arranging a SuicideTALK for your workplace or community group, please contact your Local Choose Life Co-ordinator.
