Free QPR Training Class July 11

Question, Persuade, Refer its simple, but yet so hard for some to begin the conversation and to ask someone if you’re thinking about hurting yourself.

QPR Training mission “is to reduce suicidal behaviors and save lives by providing innovative, practical and proven suicide prevention training. The signs of crisis are all around us. We believe that quality education empowers all people, regardless of their background, to make a positive deference in the life of someone they know."

On Tuesday April the 11th, Shelby’s Way had our first of many education days to help folks ask the hard question, then encourage someone to seek help and find care. I had the class closed to only 25 students. unfortunately, for our first meeting, we only had 10 attendees. With the smaller class everyone had the time to ask questions and share in the conversation. The class is about an hour and forty five minutes, but really helps and gives you the confidence to ask the appropriate questions.

I left the class better informed and learned a lot about the process and how much empathy, compassion and love will help you show sincere interest in helping someone struggling with depression and thoughts of killing themselves. I urge all our supporters, advocates, sponsors and attendees of any events we have thru out the year to attend one of these classes. You could be the only help to save a person's life.

Our next class is on Tuesday July 11th at the Hampton Inn off exit 110 here in Lexington. I hope you will clear your calendar and find the time to attend. I want to Thank everyone who attended and I look forward to advancing even further with more training sessions. I also want to thank Travis and Shelby from EKU’s Psychology Department for heading the class.
