QPR Gatekeeper Training Next Up for SCIP Community Awareness Series

On December 3 from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m., SCIP (School Community Intervention and Prevention, www.lmep.com) will be presenting a QPR Gatekeeper Zoom Training for both adults and youth (middle and high school students). QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer—three simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.

QPR trains people to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis, and how to question, persuade and refer someone to help. This training will be presented by Abbe Edgecombe, SCIP Coordinator for Lincoln/Lancaster County. Students must be logged in with a parent or guardian to attend the training. To access the training, go to Zoom at: us02web.zoom.us/j/84428884394 (Meeting ID: 844-2888-4394).
This series is a partnership between SCIP, Lincoln Public Schools, Bryan Independence Center, and the Lancaster Prevention Coalition, whose goal is to share valuable presentations about how to support the health and well-being of our community’s youth. No registration is required.

School Community Intervention & Prevention is supported in whole or part by Grant #2B08T1010034 under the SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Treatment and the Nebraska Division of Behavioral Health and monies passed through by Region 4 and Region V to prevention providers ($135,170 or 53%) and $121,933 or 47% from non-governmental entities.
