Spoke said that the Navy Chaplain Corps has partnered with LivingWorks, the creators of the safeTALK training, to make suicide awareness training “not just a brief that many people can just click through the slides, but one that is interactive and builds the confidence for Sailors to break some of the taboos or stigmas surrounding suicide within their work centers, their shipmates, friends and family.�
