GESS Parent Academy – SafeTALK Workshop

In end February 2024, our Head of Student Wellbeing, Ms Shakila Omar, conducted a morning workshop for parents on the topic of SafeTALK. A four-hour suicide alertness training aimed at helping participants notice and respond to situations where suicide thoughts may be present, our attendees learnt how to apply the TALK steps – Talk, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe.

The GPA is a signature series of workshops designed to provide parents valuable learning opportunities to support their child’s educational journey. Through these workshops, parents will gain insights into the teaching and learning philosophy of GESS while learning valuable techniques and strategies used to support their child’s development.
