Free Suicide Prevention Training

The Bylas STEPP Coalition is hosting two free QPR suicide prevention training sessions on August 10. "QPR" stands for Question, Persuade and Refer, three steps to help prevent suicide.

The sessions are co-sponsored by Southeastern Arziona Behavioral Health Services and
Community Partnership of Southeastern Arizona.

QPR is the most widely taught gatekeeper training program in the United States. More than 700,000 adults have been trained in classroom settings in 48 states.

The first training will be held in the morning on August 10 at the Fort Thomas Unified School District for all school personnel. The afternoon session will be held for all interested Bylas community members at the Bylas Learning Center.

For information or to sign up call Louis Lorenzo at 475-7335.
