Suicide Prevention Training at Your Business
What
:
Chamber businesses are encouraged to host Q.P.R. training in-house to employees, or attend a scheduled program at McHenry County Mental Health Board, 620 Dakota, Crystal Lake.
Q.P.R. represents Question, Persuade, Refer. Similar to CPR and the Heimlich maneuver, Q.P.R. can prepare individuals to recognize the clues and make a difference in someone’s life.
The program provides an understanding of how to question someone who demonstrates unusual behavior, persuade them to take action, refer them to help sources and let them know someone cares.
In addition to the training, company leaders can encourage employees to download the MCHELP App for immediate access to the crisis line via text or talk.
MCHELP is a free app with access to all McHenry County Mental Health Resources, 2-1-1 Social Services and Q.P.R. training.
Crisis line access available at the click of the app for yourself or another in need.
For more information:
Contact McHenry County Mental Health Board at 815.455.2828, go to
www.MC708.org
or download the MCHELP App.

Put your business in everyone's home
What
:
Over 60% of McHenry residents keep and use our print Calendar; most hanging it in the kitchen or by a work station. Would you like to be there all of 2020?
Why should you do this? Here are the top 4 reasons:
- #1 is that you are there when THEY need you. Your are ON DISPLAY EVERY DAY. Plumbing leak? Thinking of Moving? Sore back? Toothache? Your teen age driver needs Insurance? Hungry? Where are people talking about this. In their home, likely in the kitchen where the calendar hangs most. So they pull out their phone and look up the providers listed in the calendar. They use your coupons.
- #2 BRANDING - Name Recognition - Yes, people are using social media to do an ISO (In Search Of) but look at the replies. Hopefully your business is listed if you services that "issue." However, notice that your competition is likely there too. Being in the business card directory is one more way for people to choose you from that post because: "I've heard of them before, the others not so much."
- #3 REACH more people - if you are content with your 600, 1000 or 4K social media followers that is great. You need that fan base, those returning customers. But if you are looking at adding more clients and get referred to 15,000 HOUSEHOLDS consider the calendar.
- #4 MULTIPLE MEDIA STREAMS - Not only does Town Planner offer you the instant visibility in residents homes it also lets you be seen Online, in a weekly e-Nesletter of Local events and in the calendar APP on their phone. You can add events, sell tickets to those events, or just have your ad and website, Facebook or other link there for any visitor to click on. Whether people are moving to town or just looking for something to do for the weekend. They can see your business and follow the link to more about you if they are interested.
#5 We said there were only 4 but the fifth is a BONUS. For chamber members - from now until September 9th you can get 20% your total print ad price. With that print ad sponsorship you can get the $499 Digital package for only $199. Request our Media Kit with full Product line information and Testimonials.
