\n

As suicide rates rise not only in our country but within our own community, it is important to help support friends, family members, co-workers and neighbors who are experiencing mental distress. For those who want to be a part of the change, the Hancock Health Connection Center offers QPR Suicide Prevention Training, which can help to save the lives of those we love.   <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

What is QPR Suicide Prevention Training?\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

QPR stands for \u201cQuestion, Persuade, Refer,\u201d three skills that are taught within the scope of the suicide prevention training to help someone experiencing a crisis. We all know that CPR can save lives, and so can QPR. This emergency mental health intervention was first developed in 1995 by Paul Quinnett to help suicidal individuals with an easy to remember abbreviation.  <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

September is Suicide Prevention Month, and this is how you can help\u00a0<\/h3>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

The Hancock Health Connection Center offers quarterly QPR trainings to the general public, with the next one occurring on November 22nd<\/a>. So far, the trainers have certified nearly 3,000 community members. This two-hour training is helping not only those who have loved ones in need, but also co-workers, school staff and community leaders to understand the importance of how to approach someone in crisis and guide them toward safety.   <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

QPR trainings are also available to groups upon request. Often, groups from businesses, agencies, book clubs, schools or a variety of other community organizations want to be certified so they can be a beacon of light during someone\u2019s dark night. Through QPR, they gain the skills necessary to have the tough conversations and know the steps they can take to help someone experiencing a mental health crisis. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Breaking through the barriers of talking about suicide\u00a0<\/h3>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

Talking about suicide is difficult for people. Many times, we may think that asking someone if they are having thoughts of harming themselves will put that idea into a person\u2019s mind. The truth is that you cannot \u201cmake\u201d someone suicidal by simply asking them if they are considering self-harm. However, refusing to talk to someone who is experiencing a difficult time because you are afraid could end up doing more harm.  <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

\u201cAnybody can learn QPR,\u201d says Amanda Hinkle, RD, Local Systems Coordinator for the Hancock Health Connection Center, \u201cIt is not intended to be therapy in any way, but it provides awareness and education. It empowers people to have the conversation around suicide prevention.\u201d  <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Other ways you can help\u00a0<\/h3>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

If you are interested in helping others who are having a difficult time, the Hancock Health Connection Center offers a wide variety of opportunities, including their new ACE Interface, a chance to receive education and information regarding the impact of childhood trauma. You can find classes for QPR, ACE Interface and more by heading to HancocKHealth.org and clicking on Classes & Support Groups<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Suicide affects many people in our community and having the resources to help will empower you to make a difference in someone\u2019s life. Join the nearly 3,000 people shedding light on suicide prevention in Hancock County by participating in a QPR training through the public or with a group. <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
