Have you ever found yourself at a loss for words when a loved one is contemplating self-harm? It’s a challenging and emotional situation that many people face, but there is hope. You can learn how to respond effectively to a loved one experiencing a mental health crisis and thoughts of suicide through QPR.

QPR (or Question, Persuade, Refer) offers three simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. By understanding these principles, you can be better equipped to offer support and guidance to those in need.

With suicide rates in our community at twice the national average, suicide prevention has become a primary focus of the McKee Wellness Foundation’s Mental & Cognitive Health initiative.

We invite you to our next Foundation Social on Tuesday, October 29, where Paul Hooten from Banner Health will share this valuable information. He will discuss how to support people when they, their family, or friends are experiencing a mental health crisis.

Join us for an evening of drinks, appetizers, and networking while learning about this lifesaving method. Empower yourself with the tools to make a difference in someone’s life.

Sign up attend here. Your participation could be the key to helping someone in need. Together, we can foster a supportive community and make a positive impact on mental health awareness.
