Title: QPR Suicide Prevention Training

Description: Suicide prevention starts with awareness, confidence, and the ability to act when something doesn’t feel right. This QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) training focuses on giving participants simple, practical skills to recognize warning signs, respond in a supportive way, and connect individuals to appropriate help. The session emphasizes real-world application in everyday environments, including workplaces and communities, and aims to reduce stigma around mental health conversations while strengthening early intervention.
