 Do you know someone who has committed or tried to commit suicide and wish you had the tools to help? Safe Talk and ASSIST are courses that will help give you those tools. So ASSIST and Safe Talk are two great programs that we have in our toolbox as an RMT, a religious ministry team, as an RP and a chaplain. Safe Talk is a three-hour, half-day workshop that any sailor marine, regardless of age, rank, position, and the command, they can learn. And what that does is it gives us tools to recognize when something isn't right with our shipmates or marines in our command. And it allows us to ask concise, relevant, important, effective questions about suicide. ASSIST, that's a more in-depth training. It's two days all day. It gets into the weeds much more than Safe Talk with suicide, intervention, and prevention methodologies. To find out more about the courses, visit the DOD Live website.
