"QPR Suicide Prevention Training" (CEUs pending)

QPR (Question, Persuade, and Refer) is a research-based suicide prevention program that equips participants with practical skills to recognize the warning signs of suicide and take action. During this 90-minute session, participants will learn how to question someone about their feelings and intentions, persuade them to seek help, and refer them to appropriate support services. The training builds confidence in responding to individuals who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Participants will leave better prepared to recognize warning signs, intervene at critical moments, and connect individuals with the support they need.

Speaker: EveryMind staff will conduct the training. EveryMind strengthens communities and empowers individuals to achieve optimal mental wellness through direct services, education, advocacy, and supportive community partnerships.
