'Question, Persuade, Refer' Suicide Prevention Presentation At The Santee Collaborative

A presentation about spotting signs of suicide in the community, and how to positively handle the situation was delivered at the August meeting of the Santee Collaborative.

Bonnie Bear, with Survivors of Suicide Loss, gave the 'Question, Persuade, Refer' (QPR) Suicide Prevention presentation to local leaders and organizers at the meeting who will take what they learned to the rest of the community.

The rate of suicides in Santee was 55 percent higher than the county average last year, according to statistics shared by the Collaborative and September 8-14 is suicide prevention week.
