Mindful Conversations;
A Suicide Prevention Training for Parents & Caregivers in the QPR model.
 
QPR (Question. Persuade. Refer) is a national program dedicated to saving lives and reducing suicidal behaviors through practical, innovative, and proven suicide prevention training.

Mindful Conversations is an essential training, led by Well-Bean therapists, designed to help parents and caregivers recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and learn how to effectively question, persuade, and refer someone to the help they need.
