Chaves County Together with Veterans

FIRST RESPONDERS: We want you at the table.

Our community has experienced the loss of a first responder to su***de in recent months. It is a reminder that the people who respond when others are in crisis may be struggling too.

QPR — Question, Persuade, Refer — teaches you how to recognize the warning signs of su***de, ask the right questions, and help connect someone to support.

These skills can help you recognize when a coworker, friend, family member, or someone you encounter on a call may be at risk.

You do not have to be a mental health professional to help save a life. You just need to know what to look for, what to say, and where to turn for help.

Please share this with the first responders in your life and encourage them to attend.

Community members are also welcome.
