RSVP for Suicide Prevention Training by Friday!
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.
RSVP for the QPR Training for Faculty and Staff on Tuesday, October 14th, 11am -1pm.
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.
Can't attend the training on October 14th? Consider attending the other upcoming QPR trainings for Staff and Faculty: October 29th, 12-2pm December 3rd, 3-5pm
