Designed by Living Works, safeTALK is a 3.5-hour alertness training and certification that prepares anyone, regardless of prior experience or training, to become a suicide-alert helper. This training includes understanding of the importance of suicide alertness, learning to identify ways people invite help, and how to connect those who need help with resources when they are at risk.
This session will explore how to engage critically in anti-oppression and provide frameworks for engaging in anti-oppressive practices at the University. Anti-oppression is an ongoing and active process of recognizing and addressing individual, institution, and systemic oppression. Applying an anti-oppressive frame to our work is essential to cultivating an inclusive campus where every individual experiences a sense of belonging. This session will identify the systems and attitudes that contribute to microaggressions and discuss strategies for responding effectively.
