Queer Suicide Talk feat. PG Crisis Center

Join Mpowerment PG as we invite the Prince George Crisis Center
to share with us: Queer Suicide Talk

Queer Suicide Talk, developed by the Crisis Centre for Northern BC, is a workshop designed to help LGBTQ2+ individuals and allies understand suicide prevention within the queer community. This 2 hour workshop prepares helpers to identify persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them to suicide first-aid resources. Topics include suicidal behavior among LGBTQ2+ individuals, protective factors for suicidal behaviors, and ways to reduce suicide risk. By the end of the training, participants will be better able to:

- Move beyond common tendencies to miss, dismiss or avoid suicide.
- Identify people who have thoughts of suicide
- Apply the WALK steps (Warning Sign, Ask, Listen and Keep Safe) to connect a person with thoughts of suicide to a suicide first-aid intervention caregiver.
