The Tippecanoe Valley Community Mental Health Task Force and the Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation invite the public to attend either of the two upcoming sessions of “QPR for Suicide Prevention” training.

Tippecanoe Valley Middle School will host “QPR for Suicide Prevention” from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11. The following day, from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 12, Akron Elementary School will host an identical training session.

QPR stands for question, persuade and refer – three simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.

The training sessions will be conducted by Huntter Randall, crisis team intervention coordinator for the Bowen Center for Human Services. Mr. Randall is a highly skilled trainer who brings a vast background of meaningful and applicable experiences to his training sessions. Participants will find the training to be interesting and enlightening.

Those interested in attending need only report to the main office of the school a few minutes prior to the start of the training session.
