Jana Marie Foundation is proud to partner with State College Area School District and Park Forest Middle School to bring this information to 8th grade students.
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

Alternative Christmas Fair
2019-12-08 11:00 - 14:00 | University Baptist and Brethren Church (UBBC), 411 South Burrowes Street, State College, PA, 16801, United States
Come support Jana Marie Foundation and many of your other favorite nonprofits during the Alternative Christmas Fair! The Alternative Christmas Fair is an annual event which gives local, national, and international charities the opportunity to raise funds in a group setting, and visitors to the Fair the chance to learn about those charities. Fair goers can then write one check to cover multiple donations and receive gift cards to notify honorees of the gifts made in their names. They can also enjoy a delicious meal and dessert in a festive atmosphere. All charitable donations go directly to the charities, and all profits from food sales go toward the cost of running for next year’s Fair.

Poetry is a powerful medium for finding and sharing truths.

Throughout our time, we’ll explore several types of poetry and poets past and contemporary as we delve deeper into our familiar favorites and gently challenge each other to try something new. We will learn, we will grow, above all, we will strive to have a lot of fun! Registration is not required, but appreciated. Please email info@janamariefoundation to enroll or for more information.
