Practical suicide prevention skills. Ongoing support. Community that grows with you.
Supporting someone experiencing suicidal thoughts is one of the most important, and often most challenging, conversations many professionals will have. SafeSide CARE helps you build the confidence to respond with compassion, structure and hope. Through a practical framework, a live interactive workshop, and ongoing learning, you'll continue developing your skills alongside a community of practitioners, educators and students committed to improving suicide prevention. SafeSide CARE is now available directly to individuals. No organizational license required.
