Ellington Youth Services Offers Free Suicide Prevention Training

Ellington Youth Services will be offering FREE QPR training to community members age 16 and up on Monday February 11th 7-8:30 at Ellington Youth Services, 31 Arbor Way.

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, 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.
