Presenting: QPR Training for Parents and Youth

Please Join Stand with Trans and Hegira Health for QPR training for parents (March 22) and youth (March 25).

QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) is a three-step evidence-based suicide-prevention program designed to help people in the community become gatekeepers and help people who are suicidal get the help they need quickly. Join Stand with Trans and Hegira Health’s Larry Martin for a training session for parents.

As a QPR Trained Gatekeeper, you’ll learn how to:

• Recognize the warning signs of suicide.
• Offer hope.
• Get help and save a life.

Registration is free. Sign up below!
