The Counseling Center is offering suicide prevention training for faculty and staff before the start of the spring semester. QPR, the “CPR for suicide prevention” will be offered on Tuesday, January 12 from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. in the Grupp Fireside Lounge and on Wednesday, January 13 from 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. in Regis South.
QPR stands for: Question the person about suicide, Persuade the person to get help and Refer the person for help. QPR is designed to increase one’s ability to recognize suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and to refer the person who is at risk to a professional resource. Those who have participated in this workshop previously are encouraged to take it again to refresh their skills.
Please email Diane Kelly at kelly40@canisius.edu or call the Counseling Center at Ext. 2620 to reserve a seat. Space is limited. To learn more about QPR, click here.
