SUMMARY:Cambria County TWV Meet and Greet\, QPR Training
DESCRIPTION:TWV Meet and Greet : 10:00 am – 11:00 am \nJoin us at Sankertown VFW Post 7377 for a meet and greet with Together with Veterans Cambria County. TWV’s mission is to advocate\, educate\, and spread awareness of the tools in recognizing self-harming and suicidal behaviors\, and to equip our communities with the resources available to promote interconnectedness within our rural regions. \nQPR Training : 11:00 am – 12:30 pm \nQPR stands for Question\, Persuade\, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. \nJust 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. Each year thousands of Americans\, like you\, are saying “Yes” to saving the life of a friend\, colleague\, sibling\, or neighbor. QPR can be learned in our Gatekeeper course in as little as one hour. \nQPR is sponsored by the Cambria County Suicide Prevention Task Force.
