LAGRANGE â Parkview LaGrange Hospital is offering free suicide prevention training to the community, with virtual classes available through the end of the year.
Trainers from the hospital will teach QPR, which stands for question, persuade and refer. Any adult can learn QPR in a few hours and become prepared to recognize the signs of someone at risk of suicide, offer hope and connect that person to the care needed.
âJust as CPR helps save thousands during a cardiovascular emergency each year, those trained in QPR know how to recognize the warning signs of a mental health crisis and also save lives during a mental health emergency,â said Rhonda Sharp, MD, Parkview Physicians Group â Family Medicine. âWe want the public to have the tools they need to respond when a friend, family member, co-worker or anyone else they know needs help. This training empowers you to make a difference.â
