TRAININGS & FREE EDUCATION
Our coalition offers free trainings for individuals, schools, workplaces, and community groups across Medina County. While many focus on evidence-based suicide prevention, we also provide sessions on other important topics like mental health, recovery, and compulsive gambling—helping participants learn skills, raise awareness, and support well-being in their communities.
Available Trainings:
QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer): Learn to recognize warning signs, ask the suicide question, and connect someone to help.
CALM (Counseling on Access to Lethal Means): Strategies to reduce access to lethal means for those in crisis.
VA S.A.V.E (Spot, Ask, Validate, Encourage): Recognize warning signs, ask directly, validate feelings, and encourage professional help.
Customized Trainings: Tailored programs on mental health, recovery, and compulsive gambling, designed to enhance awareness and connect to suicide prevention efforts.
