March 15, 2019Yuma, AZ (March 15, 2019) – Arizona Western College’s Health and Wellness Department will be hosting a QPR Suicide Prevention and Awareness Training on Wednesday, March 20.
The QPR mission is to reduce suicidal behaviors and save lives by providing innovative, practical, and proven suicide prevention training. QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer - three simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life.

The free training is open to the community and will be held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Frances Morris Boardroom, located in the 3C Building of the AWC Yuma Campus, 2020 S. Ave. 8E.
