TVSC Hosts Training On How To Respond To Suicidal Behaviors
AKRON — Valley Connects and the Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation offer free QPR training at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 25.
The training will be held in the lecture room at Tippecanoe Valley High School, 8345 SR 19, Akron, said a news release by TVSC and Valley Connects.
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, Refer. It is not a form of counseling or treatment. QPR offers hope through positive action, the news release said.
By learning QPR, people gain skills to recognize the warning signs, clues and suicidal communications of people in trouble and gain skills to act vigorously to prevent a possible tragedy.
The QPR mission is to reduce suicidal behaviors and save lives by providing innovative, practical and proven suicide prevention training.
Valley Connects and TVSC believes that quality education empowers all people, regardless of background, to make a positive difference in the life of someone they know, said the news release.
