Compassion Resilience for Parents and Caregivers
2024-02-29 12:00 - 13:30 | Schlow Centre Region Library Children’s Department
Join the Jana Marie Foundation in partnership with Schlow Library for a lunch-and-learn discussion, Compassion Resilience for Parents and Caregivers. In each weekly session, we will explore the role of compassion in parenting, especially how to build compassion resilience in the face of the inevitable fatigue that comes from round-the-clock caregiving and caretaking. This is a no judgement zone; let’s get together and support each other.
Date and Time: Thursdays, beginning January 4 and running through February 29. The group will meet from 12:15pm-1:30pm.
Registration suggested but not required: Caregivers may join for any or all sessions.

Virtual Public QPR Training
2024-03-14 10:00 - 11:30 | Zoom
Virtual suicide prevention training. QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.

Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying “Yes” to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor.
KEY COMPONENTS COVERED IN TRAINING:

How to Question, Persuade and Refer someone who may be suicidal
How to get help for yourself or learn more about preventing suicide
The common causes of suicidal behavior
The warning signs of suicide
How to get help for someone in crisis
