Every conversation can make a difference.

Every day, people around you may be struggling with thoughts of su***de – often silently. And every day, caring people like you have the power to notice, to reach out and to connect with help.

LivingWorks safeTALK gives you the confidence and practical skills to recognize when someone may be thinking about su***de and take action by connecting them to safety.

You don’t need prior experience or a special background – just a willingness to help and a few hours of your time. Register Today! Dec 17th @9:30am Princeton Public Library
