Representatives from TriCounty Health and community partners will hold the final of three meetings this week focused on suicide prevention in Roosevelt tonight at the Crossroads Senior Center. The meetings, offering training in QPR (a theory-based suicide prevention program), have been a success so far. Four people completed the QPR training in Manila on Tuesday and twenty attendees completed the training in Vernal
on Wednesday night
. “The goal of these meetings is to increase the level of saturation in the community of individuals who are aware and trained to be preventative factors for suicide,” shares TriCounty Health Director Jordan Mathis. “The more people we can train then those people become a preventative factor in our community.” In their effort to saturate the Basin, the health department is offering to hold hour long QPR trainings with anyone in the community. This includes any type of social, church, or area groups. There is still room for attendees at tonight’s meeting and training in Roosevelt at the Crossroads Senior Center. Dinner
begins at 6:00pm
with the presentation
from 6:30 to 8:30pm
. Call
