QPR is an educational program that teaches community members how to recognize that a person may be experiencing thoughts of suicide and offer first aid until more experienced help is available. Participants will learn about warning signs, risk factors, common myths about suicide, and a three-step suicide prevention first aid action plan. Participants will receive a booklet and wallet card with summary information at the end of the training. This training offers veteran-specific information that is not provided in other QPR trainings.

By the end of this training, you will know how:

• to recognize the early warning signs of suicide
• to ask the person about thoughts of suicide
• to persuade the person to get help
• to refer the person to help
• to offer hope
• to get help and save a life

Cost: Free. Registration and more information here.
