You may not need to use it, but several agencies in Kewaunee County are making sure you have the ability to help somebody having a mental health crisis when the moment comes. Kewaunee County FACES, UW-Madison Extension Kewaunee County, Kewaunee County Public Health, Kewaunee County Human Services, Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department, and Kewaunee County Emergency Management are joining forces to present QPR Training to local business owners and their employees. QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer and it is used to help people who may show signs of suicide and depression. UW-Extension Human Development and Relationships Educator Renee Koenig says for some professions like barbers, beauticians, bankers, and bartenders, this training could be the lifesaver someone needs similar to someone trained in CPR.

You can click on this link to sign up for the training, which will take place on Monday, May 8th from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds Expo Building in Luxemburg.
