Residents Invited to Attend a Mental Health Awareness Training at LaGrange Global Meth-odist Church

Mental health is hard to talk about, but it doesn’t have to be. Join the Keystone Empowers You (KEY) Collaborative for a free QPR training on Tuesday, January 27th from 7 – 8 pm at the LaGrange Global Methodist Church. Come learn how to support a friend, child, or loved one in crisis through this Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) training. No registration required.

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, Refer – three simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life. This training teaches you how to recognize the warning signs of someone in a mental health crisis, how to ask the right questions, and how to help them get the support they need.

Whether you’re a parent, neighbor, teacher, or friend, the power to make a difference is in your hands. By attending, you’re not just learning how to respond to mental health crises – you’re joining a community of people dedicated to supporting each other. Every person trained makes our neighborhood stronger and safer. Take the step today to help make a difference – your actions could save a life.

This event is hosted by a trained, local QPR professional and the Keystone Empowers You (KEY) health collaborative. If you or someone you know needs support now, call or text 988 to get connected to a counselor who can help.

KEY is a community-based group powered by the United Way of Greater Lorain County, and facilitated by Lorain County Public Health. The collaborative includes partners from local businesses, agencies, and organizations working toward one goal of improving whole health and wellness through collaborative planning and action in the Keystone Local School District community.
