WHERE: Outside patio at Southside Benderz in Avon .

WHAT: Question, Persuade and Refer (QPR), an award-winning, evidenced based, early-intervention approach to suicide prevention. This educational program is designed to teach lay and “gatekeepers” the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to respond. We will cover the background of QPR, go over local data and teach the three main components of the program. We will also have a Q and A period at the end and be happy to stay after the training to talk with any individuals.

WHO: This event is for adults, parents, co-workers, friends, neighbors and youth ages 16 and up.
We encourage you to register as a small group so that you can be seated together. Registration will prompt you to register everyone in your party, up to 4 people max.

Individual seats, with 6 feet physical distancing, will also be available. There is a 20 person limit for the entire event.

WHY: Suicide prevention is for everyone. We can all learn to save lives through this training. Data proves that this training works and can make a difference in someone’s life.
