At our last meeting, Sarah Besse (Mental Health Educator, Coordinator of Su***de Prevention) was our Guest Speaker for the Mental Health First Aid Intro. She introduced us to two programs within CAPS that you have to check out!
QUESTION, PERSUADE, AND REFER (QPR) - a 90 minute training intended to foster a community of care by teaching individuals how to recognize the warning signs of su***de, including verbal, behavioral, and situational clues.
MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID (MHFA) - training course that demonstrates how to offer initial help in a mental health crisis and connect persons to the appropriate professional, peer, social, and self-help care.
