QPR Suicide Prevention for Gatekeepers
2021-05-18 17:30 - 18:30 | Zoom
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.

ABOUT QPR:
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
At this point, all courses are offered through a virtual platform. Thanks to the generosity of the Scott Sipple Foundation, these trainings will be free to attend. Advanced registration is required and can be done online: QPR Registration – Jana Marie Foundation

KNOW
2021-06-25 10:30 - 11:30 | Zoom
Students in grades 9-12 are invited to join Jana Marie Foundation for a new, interactive book club! KNOW Book Club provides an opportunity for self-discovery and self-reflection through vibrant discussions surrounding carefully selected works of literature. In addition, KNOW will create connections, build community, and give readers the chance to think about their own mental health and the role mental health and wellness plays in our lives. This program is offered in partnership with Schlow Centre Region Library, with the support of the Downtown State College Rotary Club.
The young adult titles we will explore will have stories and themes related to mental health that tend to be relevant to young people today, and that tie to the mission of Jana Marie Foundation. We will encourage weekly reading of specific chapters in the chosen book each week in order to discuss those chapters as a group when we meet on Sunday. Reading is a powerful source for seeking knowledge, thinking freely and critically, and learning more about the world around us. When it comes to mental health, Jana Marie Foundation feels the more you KNOW, the more you can empower yourself and others to be their best!
