Take Action To Make A Difference!

Each year an estimated 775,000 family members are impacted by the suicide attempt or death of a loved one. Countless others are concerned about friends. You can make a difference and possibly save a life.

In as little as one-hour individuals can learn to recognize the warning signs of suicide and how to apply three simple steps that may save a life. Presented by a certified instructor, each QPR training includes information on:

•  the problem of suicide nationally and in Illinois

•  common myths and facts associated with suicide

•  warning signs of suicide

•  tips for asking the suicide question

•  methods for persuading suicidal individuals to get help

•  ways of referring at-risk people to local resources

•  AND time for Questions and Answers.

Each attendee will receive a QPR booklet and card with information on suicide prevention, as well as resource information for treatment providers and support groups within their community.
