YOUR DAILY NEED TO KNOW: FACULTY & STAFF
- Join Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) on Friday, June 11, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. for the next virtual QPR mental health and suicide prevention training. QPR stands for question, persuade and refer — the three simple steps anyone can learn to help prevent suicide. People trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade and refer someone to help. To register, visit the Learning and Organizational Development Portal and log in using your NinerNet credentials. The session is listed under “All Staff and Faculty.” If you need assistance, reach out to Sarah Besse.
