Things need to change.
Navigate Hope Inc., a 501c3 non-profit, was formed as a result of our own personal struggles to find resources, education, and support when it came to Mental Health in our community.
Our mission is to provide Mental Health education and resources for our schools (faculty and students), first-line responders, Veterans, and the local community. Statistics indicate that 1 in 5 Americans struggle with mental health and 1 in 4 between the ages of 13 and 18. We’re working towards a community where all people understand how to take care of their own mental health and look out for each other. A community without shame, where all those who need support get the help they deserve.
Navigate Hope will be providing FREE Question, Persuade, and Refer (QPR) training for Nursing Students at Georgia Piedmont Technical College on Mar 9th at 10am.QPR is a nationally recognized suicide prevention program. QPR (Question, Persuade, and Refer) Gatekeeper Training for Suicide Prevention is a two-hour educational program designed to teach lay and professional "gatekeepers" the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to respond. Gatekeepers can include anyone who is strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide (e.g., parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, coaches, caseworkers, police officers). The process follows three steps: (1) Question the individual's desire or intent regarding suicide, (2) Persuade the person to seek and accept help, and (3) Refer the person to appropriate resources. The training is presented by certified QPR gatekeeper instructors.
