Suicide Prevention Training — a Two Hour Class at New Canaan Library
|
In partnership with the New Canaan Health Department, New Canaan Library is presenting a two-hour suicide prevention “QPR” class for adults. QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the three simple steps anyone can use to help prevent suicide. — an announcement from the New Canaan Library website
Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives, those trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying “Yes” to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor. This training will certify you as a QPR gatekeeper.
