Join University Counseling Services for Q.P.R., a 2 hour training designed to help you help someone who may be considering suicide. This training is facilitated by University Counseling Services. QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer.
Faculty and staff are interacting with more students expressing symptoms of mental health concerns (e.g., anxiety, stress, depression, self-harm, and even suicidal thoughts, etc.). This training helps prepare someone who is in the position to recognize someone who may be in crisis. The training is focused on signs of distress and crises, and "provides innovative, practical and proven suicide prevention training" and includes:
University Counseling Services has received extremely positive feedback from the faculty and staff on campus who have participated in this training. They report feeling more knowledgeable and better equipped to serve in a gatekeeping role -- how to recognize a student in distress, how to talk with them about their concerns, how to offer hope, and how to refer that student to get the help they may need.

An American women's rights icon, historic figure, attorney, and powerful advocate for equality, Anita Hill brought the issue of sexual harassment to the forefront of our national conversation in her historic testimony before the Supreme Court confirmations hearings of Judge Clarence Thomas in 1991.
In the wake of the #MeToo movement, the Judge Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation hearings, and the volatile social and political climate, Anita Hill is more important than ever.
A trailblazer and crusader for gender and racial equality, Anita is empowering a new generation of women to fight for change and embrace feminism as a gateway to activism, social justice, and speaking truth to power.
