Free Community Suicide Awareness/Prevention Training

The Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) is offering a community training for suicide awareness and prevention called QPR: Question, Persuade, and Refer. The training is free and will be offered virtually on September 5^th and is open to any member in the community.

Through the Suicide Prevention Foundation, AAA7 staff have been trained to provide the community educational program QPR: Question, Persuade, and Refer. Much like the well-known CPR, the fundamentals of QPR are easily learned and applied through a short training which can be done virtually or online. QPR, like CPR, functions as a “chain of survival”, allowing lay persons and professionals to respond to a life-threatening event; suicidal crisis. The training provides a booklet for each participant which becomes the resource to assist those experiencing suicidal thoughts and is an instrumental part of the training. Teachers, coaches, local clergy, police officers, and any community individual can learn the QPR method to help recognize signs and clues of suicidal behavior, how to approach and communicate with a person experiencing suicidal thoughts, and where to refer them for assistance...
