QPR Suicide Prevention Training
This program dispels common misconceptions about suicide, helps students recognize the warning signs of suicide, and empowers students to save lives using the nationally-recognized QPR method of suicide prevention. It also allows students to examine the issue of suicide from both a social and multicultural perspective while considering their own role in preventing suicide.
This event is INT 100 & 201 Approved!
No registration required.
In the United States, a person dies by suicide every 11 minutes and suicide remains the 2nd leading cause of death among college students.
