There will be a free suicide prevention education presentation called QPR for the staff of all Central Berkshire County Youth Serving Agencies. QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer – “3 simple steps that anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Each year thousands of people, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor” (QPR Institute). The presentation will be Thursday November 4, 2010 from 9:45am to 12noon at the Chamber of Commerce, 75 North Street, Suite 360, Pittsfield Mass. All staff welcome.
