If there is a behavioral health-based topic for which you would like training and do not see listed, please contact Debi Traeder 715-551-0966 or at traeders@charter.net. A program may be put together to for your needs or another speaker may be available with that expertise.

Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR)

Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying “Yes” to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor. QPR can be learned in our Gatekeeper course in as little as one hour. Gatekeepers can be anyone, but include parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, ministers, doctors, nurses, office supervisors, squad leaders, foremen, police officers, advisors, caseworkers, firefighters, and many others who are strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide. Presentations can be tailored to specific audiences or the general public.

60-90 minutes.

ACEs – Adverse Childhood Experiences

Negative childhood experiences are related to major risk factors for the leading causes of illness and death and poor quality of life among adults. ACEs are common among all segments of the population. People who report any ACE are likely to experience adversity in other categories. Learn more about the study and some things we can do to not only help prevent ACEs, but to help those who have gone through such experiences and grow in positives ways.

Trauma-Informed Care

Psychological trauma is a pivotal force that shapes an individual’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Because trauma stems from violence, abuse, neglect, disaster, terrorism and war, nearly every family is impacted in some way. Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) provides a new perspective where those providing the support shift from asking “What is wrong with you?” to “What has happened to you?” This change reduces the blame and shame that some people experience when being labeled. It also builds an understanding of how the past impacts the present, which effectively makes the connections that progress toward healing and recovery. TIC takes a collaborative approach, where healing is led by the individual and supported by the service provider. Together, in a true partnership, people learn from each other. There’s greater respect, progress towards healing, and greater efficacy in services.

Four-hour to full day training available.
