QPR Suicide Prevention Workshop
Nov 18, 2009 - QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) is an emergency mental health intervention which teaches people to recognize and respond positively to someone exhibiting suicide warning signs and behaviors. It is not a form of counseling or treatment, but is intended to offer hope through positive action. QPR is for everyone, not just mental health professionals. Community referral sources will be identified. Everyone who attends the presentation will be given a booklet with useful tips as to how to approach someone who seems to be at risk as well as a certificate of attendance. Presenters: Dr. Elizabeth McDermott, a registered psychologist on staff at the Student Counseling Centre, University of Windsor & Dr. Mohsan Beg, a licensed clinical psychologist and Director of the Student Counseling Centre at the University of Windsor.
