Safe Talk

Safe Talk is a free workshop, provided by Western Health and Care Trust which will raise general awareness on how to prevent suicide in the Glenelly community. The workshop equips participants with the skills to recognise a person with thoughts of suicide to engage them and then connect them with an organisation or individual who can intervene to help keep them safe. The workshop will be held on a Wednesday evening in late spring, but in order to ensure viability, we need to determine numbers. To confirm interest and for more details, please contact Rosemary Murphy on 07708567449 or 81648336.
