Suicide Awareness and Prevention Training Offered
Health Promotion -- in partnership with Campus Health and Wellness, Campus Life, and Housing and Conferences -- is offering QPR training for faculty and staff at UBC Okanagan.
QPR Training (question, persuade and refer) fits within our Healthy Workplace Culture Strategy in terms of providing a program which builds the capacity of our faculty and staff to identify, intervene and refer staff or students at risk of suicide to appropriate resources on campus.
QPR is not a form of counselling or treatment, but rather, a community-based approach which offers hope through positive and proactive action.
