We don't talk about it enough. Suicides are reported nearly every day in the Tri-State. The coroner's report shares the basic statistics. There's no pattern here; The very old. The 20-something. Teenagers who aren't old enough to drive. Men and women in mid-life who have lost all hope. Every race, religion and persuasion. Hopelessness doesn't discriminate.

This show is about bringing hope to loved ones, friends and community members, through a two-hour and no-cost training program that equips everyday people with the tools and skills they need to help people who are talking about self-harm, thinking about it or threatening it. 

Jason Hughes is the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation Program Manager and the Veteran's Liaison. The state is committed to helping people with this completely avoidable loss of life. 

This show isn't about suicide methods, boring statistics or tragic stories. It's about QPR Training, specialized instruction in how to intervene when someone is without hope.

Q-P-R -- Question - Persuade - Refer
Recognize the warning sides of suicide
Learn how to offer hope
Learn how to get help and save a life

This show explains how QPR training works, how to find QPR training in your area, and Jason explains the best, evidence-based recommendations to address the issue with someone you care about. 

If you're struggling or want to know how to help someone who is, call or text 988 -- anywhere in the US. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline promises to listen, no judgment, and won't force someone to do anything. The trained professionals merely want to help.
