AgriSafe FREE Suicide Prevention Training

Join us on October 24 at 4PM EST for a FREE Suicide Prevention Training!

AgriSafe is offering free suicide prevention training designed specifically for agricultural communities. Together, we can work to reduce the number of deaths by suicide and support those who are struggling. The intended audience for this training is anyone interacting with individuals in the agricultural industry, including agribusiness and rural business employers/employees.

Farmers and farm families have experienced increasing pressure resulting in high levels of stress, mental health issues, and suicide. The Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) training teaches laypeople and professionals to recognize and respond to mental health crises. QPR for Farmers and Farm Families is specially tailored to the agricultural community.

To attend this training participants must be 18 years of age or older.

In this 1.5-hour QPR training, we will provide: – Information on the unique challenges farmers face that can lead to stress, depression, and suicide. – Examples implementing each QPR component with someone at risk for suicide. – Information on how to help someone at risk of suicide.

Registration spots are limited, so please only register if you can attend the event. No recording of this training will be available. Interested in hosting a QPR training session for your organization? Contact Olivia Bury (obury@agrisafe.org) for more information!
