QPR-Lunch Time Learning-Suicide Intervention Skills Class

Sign up by visiting http://qprlunch.eventbrite.com

Here is a free class that will get you certified in how to assist someone who is suicidal.  Learn QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer), a set of suicide intervention/prevention skills during lunch!

In this brief class, (about 70 minutes), you will learn the basics about how to assist someone who is talking about taking their own life.

Take the time to learn the skills needed to save a life.  1 in 5 people will struggle with a mental illness in their life.  Sometimes those struggles can become life threatening.  Still, the overwhelming majority of people who express suicidal ideas do not actually want to die.

When confronted by a suicidal person we can get confused, upset, and concerned about what to do.  The steps are fairly simple and this class will give you those steps.  Most people who die by suicide have discussed their desire to die before taking their life.  And most of us do not know what to say or do in those times.

Join us for this very important training being offered by HealthWest, Mercy Prevention Practices, Disability Network, Access Health, Public Health, and other community partners FREE OF CHARGE.
