Workplace Training FAQ
How is this different from the workshops page on your site?
Workshops are event-style sessions; this training is a structured program with role-specific tracks, rehearsal, and documentation — built for rollout across a workforce.
How long are the sessions?
All-employee sessions run 60-90 minutes; manager intensives run 2-3 hours; peer champion certification runs a half day. All available virtually.
Does training address suicide prevention directly?
Yes, with safe messaging. Employees learn the direct question, and managers and champions learn the full recognize-ask-connect sequence.
Can you train our whole company?
Yes. Rollouts use repeated sessions, virtual cohorts, and train-the-champion models to reach every team and shift. Call (858) 258-5903 to scope it.
Why should we bring Frank King to our workplace training?
Frank King blends lived experience, research-backed suicide prevention education, and twenty years as a professional comedian into a presentation tailored to your team, leaders, and everyday culture. Audiences leave laughing, learning, and empowered to help save a life.
Why is humor so effective for a topic this serious?
Humor lowers defenses, reduces stigma, and makes a hard subject approachable. People remember what they feel, and Frank's blend of laughter, vulnerability, and practical education helps audiences retain life-saving information long after the event.
Does Frank teach people how to ask someone if they're suicidal?
Yes — it's one of the core skills every audience learns: how to ask the question directly, listen without judgment, stay present, and connect the person with the right help.
Will attendees leave with practical takeaways?
Absolutely. Every audience leaves with clear, actionable steps they can use immediately — recognize the warning signs, ask the question, and connect someone to help.
