CRAWFORDSVILLE – Franciscan Health is hosting a QPR (Question, Persuade and Refer) suicide prevention training in Crawfordsville in February.
The training is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 11, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Wabash College in the Counseling/Wellness Center Kendall House Education Room.
QPR is an entry-level suicide prevention course that teaches how to identify suicidal ideation and how to persuade someone to seek help. QPR is a widely taught gatekeeper training course. Like CPR, QPR is an emergency system that can help someone in a crisis save lives.
Those who become QPR-trained gatekeepers will gain the ability to recognize signs of suicidal thoughts, provide hope and support, and guide someone to life-saving assistance.
To register, please email Betsy Coffing at Betsy.Coffing@Franciscanalliance.org or call 765-423-6909.
The Wabash College Counseling/Wellness Center Kendall House Education Room is located at 503 Milligan Street in Crawfordsville.
