Suicide Prevention Training 

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just 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.

 The Peer Workforce Development ECHO provides professional development for newly Certified Recovery Peer Specialists (CRPS). Although training and certification processes vary by state and organization, SAMHSA’s Core Competencies for Peer Workers in Behavioral Health (2015) “identifies the critical knowledge, skills and abilities needed by anyone who provides peer support services to people with or in recovery from a mental health or substance use condition.” To expand upon these core competencies, our Peer Workforce Development ECHO offers a bi-monthly, 1.5 hour long session with an inter-professional team of behavioral health and peer recovery specialists. It is focused on enhancing the skills and abilities of peer specialists to assist peers in the recovery process. It also offers the chance connect with other peer specialists new to field work. This clinic includes expert-led didactic presentations, opportunities to engage in case presentations, receive real-time case consultation and recommendations from specialists, and become part of a safe, collaborative learning community.

CRPS bring valuable skills to the organizations where they work. Using peer recovery support services reduces:

·        The number of admissions and days spent in hospitals

·        Use of emergency departments and detoxification centers

·        The average service costs per person

Audience:Certified Recovery Peer Specialists, behavioral health providers, and community members are welcome
