Congratulations to Chief of Programs, Lisa Moon and Senior Director of Community Programs, Paul Icatar, who are now certified QPR Gatekeeper Instructors!
QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) is a suicide prevention training that teaches people how to recognize warning signs, offer support, and connect someone to professional help. Just as CPR helps save lives during a medical emergency, QPR equips everyday people with the skills and confidence to respond to a mental health crisis.
And during Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, there couldn’t be a better time to add two QPR instructors right here at Sound. Lisa and Paul can now train our staff directly, giving more people across the agency the tools to recognize when someone may be in crisis and know how to respond.
We’re lucky to have you both bringing this work to Sound.
