SUMMARY:Question\, Persuade\, and Refer (QPR)
DESCRIPTION:QPR stands for Question\, Persuade\, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. \nJust 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. \nNKHS offers QPR introduction to suicide training for adults and caretakers to raise awareness\, dispel myths and misconceptions\, and teach three skills that can help save a life. \nA QPR trainee will learn how to recognize the warning signs of suicide\, how to offer hope\, and how to get help.

SUMMARY:Helping Save Lives Using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scales
DESCRIPTION:The Columbia Protocol\, also known as the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)\, supports suicide risk assessment through a series of simple\, plain-language questions that anyone can ask. The answers help users identify whether someone is at risk for suicide\, assess the severity and immediacy of that risk\, and gauge the level of support that the person needs. Users of the tool ask people: \n• Whether and when they have thought about suicide (ideation) \n• What actions they have taken — and when — to prepare for suicide \n• Whether and when they attempted suicide or began a suicide attempt that was either interrupted by another person or stopped of their own volition \nThis webinar will provide an introduction to the CSSRS as a screening tool for suicide prevention.

SUMMARY:Conversations on Access to Lethal Means (CALM)
DESCRIPTION:CALM Conversations: The effectiveness of CALM is not limited to clinical interactions. Many people at risk for suicide do not ever seek or receive formal mental or physical health care for these issues. Fortunately\, CALM can be implemented by anyone who is concerned about a relative\, friend\, or someone with whom they work. These workshops add specific CALM strategies to typical gatekeeper training and also offer participants the opportunity to observe and practice the techniques.
