NORTH PLATTE – Mid-Plains Community College will begin its next set of Question, Persuade, Refer training next month.
QPR workshops are designed to help participants understand how to talk about suicide, identify the signs of suicidal thoughts and feel more comfortable engaging with someone who may be thinking about suicide.
The first training will be from noon to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, May 23 at the MPCC Broken Bow Campus.
MPCC Valentine will also have a session on that Tuesday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Valentine Campus.
A third class is planned for noon to 1:30 p.m. on June 1 at the MPCC Ogallala Campus.
All times are local; all sessions are free and open to the public. They will be led by Dr. Brian Obert, MPCC Dean of Student Life. Preregistration is appreciated, but not required.
