Copper Shores Outreach & Education is hosting free QPR Training on Thursday, October 17, 2024, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Portage Lake District Library. The event is free, will last about 90 minutes and is open to anyone in the community over the age of 16.
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer, three simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.
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. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor.
Those who are trained are educated about the known warning signs of a suicide crisis, including expressions of hopelessness, depression, giving away prized possessions, talking about suicide, securing lethal means and then taught how to respond.
If you are interested in taking QPR Training, contact Lisa Simpson at lsimpson@coppershores.org. All fees for training are covered by Copper Shores and will come at no costs to those who sign up.
