Philosophy of Suicide Awareness Thro (sic) Volunteered Efforts (S.A.V.E.)

The Red Deer Suicide Awareness Through Volunteered Efforts was developed to be a comprehensive training opportunity for volunteers of the Suicide Prevention Society of Red Deer program. The premise is that, if individuals will be representing the program in the community, it is essential that they obtain knowledge and skills not only on the information around suicide, but also communication skills, presentation skills, risk assessment and resources.
