Talk Saves Lives for Hispanic /Latinx Communities

Talk Saves Lives is AFSP‘s introduction to suicide prevention program that covers the scope of this leading cause of death, what the research has found to be the warning signs and risk factors of suicide, and the strategies that prevent it.

This presentation will cover what we know about mental health and suicide, the most up-to-date research on prevention, and what we can all do to help save lives.
Participants will learn common risk factors and warning signs in Latinx and Hispanic communities, as well as how to keep ourselves, our loved ones and those in our community safe.

This module focuses on Latinx and Hispanic populations. This training will be presented in Spanish. We are looking into an English translation during the Zoom but that is only a tenative option.
