Upcoming Events
QPR Suicide Prevention Training for Faith and Community Leaders
Farmer Veteran Coalition with the support of the USDA Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships is pleased to offer these QPR training opportunities for faith and community leaders. FBC has provided over 70 QPR training and follow-up debriefing opportunities to help anyone provide assistance in suicide prevention. During the training, we will also provide information as to why farmers and veterans are more vulnerable to suicide. For many people QPR is a very accessible way to receive an introduction to suicide prevention. Together we can help prevent suicide.
Faith and community leaders who graduate from QPR will be offered the opportunity to participate in Debriefs for Faith and Community Leaders. For more information, reach out to support@farmvetco.org.
