August 27th - In support of our first core belief, "we meet the social-emotional needs of all students, putting Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs before Bloom’s Taxonomy," recently classified staff received QPR training before the first day of school.
This was the first phase of our process to ultimately train all staff in our district suicide prevention/intervention process.
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, Refer and uses the “chain of survival” approach for recognizing and responding appropriately to suicidal warning signs and behaviors.
Training includes questioning at-risk individuals in order to determine suicide intent/desire, persuading a person to agree to seek help, and referring a person to appropriate resources.
