S.A.V.E. And QPR Training in Okeechobee - A Free Crisis Recognition and Su***de Prevention Workshop
You are invited to a free workshop where you'll learn to identify signs of crisis and what to do that could prevent a su***de. In an hour, you can be empowered to recognize suicidal behaviors and save lives by providing innovative, practical and proven su***de prevention training.
The signs of crisis are all around us. To that end, the Okeechobee community has a goal to educate and empower as many people as possible, regardless of their background, to make a positive difference in the life of someone they know. Here’s one way the villagers are convening and collaborating to save lives.
QPR training (Question, Persuade and Refer) and the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) SAVE’s mission is to reduce suicidal behaviors and save lives by providing innovative, practical and proven su***de prevention training that everyone can use to make a difference and save lives.
