QPR TRAINING: TUESDAY, MAY 7

Our next QPR (Suicide Prevention Program) Training will take place on Tuesday, May 7, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Chambers Center Board Room. Athens Academy is fortunate to have established a partnership with Nuci's Space, a local non-profit organization that seeks to help young people get paired up with local mental health workers. With our ongoing partnership, representatives from Nuci's Space will once again provide this training to our community. While this intensive program requires three hours of time, participants will learn how to help someone who is considering suicide. Space is limited so please reserve your space before it fills up again. Questions? Email Bob Sears.
