Suicide Prevention Training for Students on 12/6 from 2-4pm
Department / Organization: Student Wellness Promotion
Are you interested in learning steps to save someone’s life? Please consider joining us for a suicide prevention training.
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer—3 simple steps that anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help.
Those who attend this two-hour training will learn to: -Recognize the warning signs of suicide -Know how to offer hope -Know how to get help and save a life
Who should attend QPR? Every Oredigger, whether student, faculty, or staff! QPR provides a basic introduction about suicide prevention and how to get someone to help. Mines will hold periodic all-campus trainings that anyone can attend, and departments/student organizations can request separate QPR trainings for their own group. Attendees should be retrained every 3 years.
