Summary: Over the last decade, farmers and farm families have experienced increasing pressures resulting in high levels of stress, mental health issues, and deaths by suicide.

QPR training teaches laypeople and professionals to recognize and respond to mental health crises using the approach of Question, Persuade, and Refer. Participants must be at least 18 years old to attend this training.

In this 1.5-hour QPR training, we will provide:

• Information on the unique challenges farmers face that can lead to stress, depression, and suicide.
• Examples of implementing each QPR component with someone at risk for suicide.
• Information on how to help someone at risk of suicide.

Registration spots are limited, so please only register if you can attend the event. No recording of this training will be available.

To register for this training, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab. If you do not have an account, you can create one here.
