Free and Open to the Community
Facilitated by Penn Medicine Chester County Hospital, QPR is an evidence-based suicide prevention program that teaches participants how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and respond effectively. Similar to CPR for physical emergencies, QPR provides practical skills to:
- Question someone who may be struggling
- Persuade them to seek help
- Refer them to appropriate resources and support
This training is designed for anyone who wants to be better prepared to support friends, family members, coworkers, students, or community members experiencing a mental health crisis. No prior experience is necessary.
Training Overview
Join us at the Kennett Area YMCA on Tuesday, August 25, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM for this informative and potentially lifesaving training. Participants will learn how to identify warning signs, initiate supportive conversations, and connect individuals with resources that can make a meaningful difference.
