Copper Shores Community Health Foundation invites community members to attend free QPR Training, followed by an optional Narcan Training, on Wednesday, February 11 at 6:30 p.m. at Lake Linden-Hubbell Public Schools. This training is open to parents, educators, healthcare professionals, faith leaders, business owners and any other community members interested in supporting mental health and saving lives in the community.
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, Refer; three simple yet powerful steps anyone can take to help someone in crisis. Those who complete the training learn to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis, such as expressions of hopelessness or depression, giving away prized possessions, talking about suicide or securing lethal means, and are taught how to respond with confidence, care and compassion.
An optional 30 minute Narcan Training will be offered immediately following the one hour QPR Training. Narcan Training teaches individuals how to recognize the signs of an opioid overdose and how to administer the opioid overdose reversal drug Naloxone. No prior experience or training is required for these sessions.
This training opportunity reflects Lake Linden–Hubbell Public Schools’ commitment to expanding access to mental health resources and reducing the stigma surrounding suicide for students and members of the broader community.
