In response to so much stress and uncertainty, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will be offering seven online “Question. Persuade. Refer.” programs said David Brown, behavioral health specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. QPR is a suicide prevention program that teaches participants three steps to help save a life from suicide.
“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,” Brown explained.  Each on-line program will last for one hour. Those dates and times are as follows:

•  Tuesday, April 28 at 12 p.m.
•  Wednesday, April 29 at 10 a.m.
•  Tuesday, May 5 at 12 p.m.
•  Wednesday, May 6 at 10 a.m.
•  Tuesday, May 12 at 12 p.m.
•  Wednesday, May 13 at 10 a.m.   
•  Tuesday, May 19 at 12 p.m.
•  Wednesday, May 20 at 10 a.m.   

Agribusiness and other business professionals, agriculture lenders and bankers, veterinarians, vet techs, commodity group members and producers can register at no cost for any of these programs. To register, go to:
