NDSU Extension is offering a free QPR Suicide Prevention Certification training on Monday, Jan. 27, from 2-4 p.m. at the Ward County Administration Building. QPR stands for Question, Persuade and Refer.

Participants will become equipped to recognize the warning signs of suicide and take action. Participants will learn how to question someone about suicide, persuade them to seek help and refer them to appropriate resources.

The workshop is for everyone. No prior experience is needed. Participants will receive a certificate at the end of the workshop that is valid for two years. For more details, contact NDSU Extension-Ward County.
