QPR helps anyone learn three simple steps to help prevent suicide. It is an innovative, practical and proven suicide prevention training.
Addressing the wellness needs of those working in agriculture or related areas will be the focus of this webinar sponsored by North Dakota State University Extension. The 90-minute webinar will address concerns of high stress levels in agriculture-related jobs and the toll on mental and emotional well-being.
Research indicates the suicide rate is significantly higher for those working in agriculture. The QPR training will provide participants with awareness and skills to recognize warning signs of a mental health crisis or suicidal thinking and respond in an appropriate and supportive way.
Though focused on individuals working in and around agriculture, anyone interested in the topic can register. There is no cost for the training, which is supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Requests for accommodations related to disability should be made to the event contact person at least two weeks in advance of the event.
