QPR - Question, Persuade and Refer
To address this behavioral health crisis, the MHARS Board of Lorain County and Lorain Rotary have partnered to train young adults to offer QPR to other high school students and young adults. QPR is a nationally recognized training to teach the skills necessary to recognize when someone is in crisis and to refer to the appropriate resources. Trainings are scheduled in 90 minute increments and will be arranged at no cost.
To schedule a training for your school, youth group or club, please reach out to Rebecca Jones, Director of Child and Adolescent Services at: rjones@mharslc.org or call at 440-233-2020.
