Public Virtual QPR
2024-08-30 14:30 - 16:00 | 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.
Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. 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

Free to attend. Pre-registration is required: janamariefoundation.org/take-a-course

"Speaking Grief" Screening Event
2024-09-04 19:00 | 100 Innovation Blvd, 238 Outreach Building100 Innovation Blvd, State College, Pa, 16802
We’ve been taught that grief is taboo and that talking about it should be avoided at all costs. This outlook can create unnecessary pain and isolation. The reality is that grief is a healthy, natural, and universal experience with enormous potential for meaningful connection. The documentary Speaking Grief explores how we can create a more grief-aware society by validating the experience of grievers and offering guidance to those who wish to support them.
WPSU invites you to join Lindsey Whissel Fenton, creator of Speaking Grief and Learning Grief, along with a panel of community experts about how we can get better at grief. Learn more at speakinggrief.org.
