These trainings are generously sponsored by the Horizon Foundation with the goal of increasing mental health awareness and suicide prevention throughout Howard County and greater Maryland.

 

This important 60-minute session will provide essential training on suicide prevention. Following the main session, there will be an optional 30-minute scenario-based practice session available from 1:00PM to 1:30 PM.

 

Gatekeepers play a vital role in our community and can be anyone in a position to recognize and support someone who may be at risk of suicide. This includes parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, ministers, doctors, nurses, office supervisors, squad leaders, foremen, police officers, advisors, caseworkers, firefighters, and many other caring individuals.

 

Participants who successfully complete the course will receive a certificate and a QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) badge.
