On Thursday, March 24, 2022 all farmers are invited to attend a QPR training at the Adair County Cooperative Extension Service at 5:30pmCT.
In as little as 1½ hours, you can learn to recognize the warning signs of suicide and how to apply three simple steps that may save a life.
QPR stands for: Question, Persuade, and Refer - 3 simple steps that anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.
People trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to get a person at risk the help they need. You might be surprised and may find it useful at some point in your life with someone you know and care about.
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.
