Suicide Awareness and Prevention (QPR) Thurs. 6th June 2024

THIS LISTING IS FOR THURSDAY 6th JUNE AT 6 PM

Join me for a crucial 2-hour Zoom course on Suicide Prevention and Awareness. QPR teaches a framework that anyone can learn - no previous knowledge or training in mental health is needed. Learn how to make a difference, offer support, and save lives.

QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) is a simple and effective approach to suicide prevention that anyone can learn to use. Over 5,000,000 people worldwide have undertaken QPR Gatekeeper training and it's thought one in twelve of those have used it to help keep a suicidal person safe.

Like first aid, QPR is not a form of counselling or treatment. It is a way to keep suicidal people safe until the right support is available and, because of this, anyone can learn it.

The QPR Gatekeeper training will cover:

• Suicide myths and truths,
• Recognising clues and warning signs,
• Direct and indirect expressions of suicidal intent,
• What questions to ask, and how to ask them,
• How to offer hope and persuade someone to stay alive,
• How and where to refer suicidal people to save a life.
