SUMMARY:Question\, Persuade\, Refer (QPR) Community Suicide Prevention Training
DESCRIPTION:**SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH**\n\nTalking 
 about mental health struggles and suicide can be challenging\, but it's a 
 conversation that has the power to save a life. Join us for Question\, 
 Persuade\, Refer (QPR) Gatekeeper training\, a practical\, evidence-based 
 approach to learn how to recognize the warning signs of suicide\, engage 
 with someone who is in crisis\, and refer them to appropriate professional 
 help. In this session you will learn practical skills to:\n\n\n	Question 
 someone in a compassionate and non-judgmental way to determine if they are 
 experiencing suicidal thoughts.\n	Persuade them to seek help.\n	Refer them 
 to professional resources that can provide the necessary 
 assistance.\n\n\n"Gatekeepers" can be anyone\, but include family members\, 
 friends\, neighbors\, work colleagues\, teachers\, faith leaders\, 
 healthcare workers\, first responders\,  social service providers and many 
 others who are positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of 
 suicide. Register now to make a positive difference in the life of someone 
 you know--appropriate for ages 16 years and older.\n\nThis training is 
 brought to the community by Greater Mental Health of New York (formerly the 
 Mental Health Associations of Westchester and Rockland).\n\n If you or 
 someone you know needs support now\, call or text 988 or chat at 
 988lifeline.org.
