ATTENTION BARBERS, HAIRDRESSERS & STUDENTS! You're invited to join the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (TSPN) as we partner with KO Barber Academy to host Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) suicide prevention training. Barbers and hairdressers have a unique relationship with their clients, where clients sometimes feel comfortable opening up about things they may be struggling with, including their mental healh challenges.
QPR training equips participants to recognize warning signs and risk factors for suicide, ask confidently and directly if you think someone may be thinking about suicide, and help persuade them to stay safe for now as they seek help. QPR also familarizes participants with available resources in their region and teaches them how to connect someone to help. Participants must be 18+ to attend this training. Each partipant will receive a certificate upon completing QPR Training.
Attendees must be 18+ to participate in this training. Attendees must plan to attend the full training to receive their QPR certificate. Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) is limited to 35 participants per session. There is no cost to participate in this training. Registration is required.
