Spring Field Trip

(Question, Persuade, Refer)

9 AM – Noon
Conte Lubrano Building

Lower Level Conference Room

Optional Dutch Treat Lunch at Jalapeno's Restaurant

Noon - 2 PM   In honor of AAWGT’s 10th Anniversary and its mission to educate our members, AAWGT’s Post Grants Evaluation Committee presents this unique Spring Field Trip. 

The seminar, led by Alli Holstrom, Anne Arundel County’s Youth Suicide Awareness Chair and Certified QPR Trainer, is graciously being offered free of charge by our 2015 grantee, Anne Arundel County Mental Health Association, Youth Suicide Awareness Program. 

QPR is a simple educational program that can teach anyone how to recognize someone experiencing a suicidal ideation or a mental health crisis and how to get a person at risk the help they need. It has been used to train teachers, doctors, nurses, firefighters, police and other professionals who deal with the public. Just as important though is that parents, friends, neighbors, even teens, can learn to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide. 

Participants can expect to learn to:

  1. Understand the issue of suicide including current data and statistics;
  2. Recognize the warning signs of suicide; and
  3. Ask the question of a person at risk and make a positive intervention, access help and save a life.

The session will delve deeply into the issue of youth suicide in Anne Arundel County and discuss findings and recommendations from the recent University of Memphis study. CEU’s are available.

Click HERE to register for the QPR Seminar. There is a limit of 50 attendees, and it's filling up fast! Registration is first being offered only to members until April 6. Registration is now open to the general public.

FOLLOWING THE SEMINAR, we will meet for a Dutch Treat lunch at Jalapeno’s Restaurant, 85 Forest Dr. Annapolis, 21401. If you plan to attend lunch, please click HERE to access the lunch registration site. Registration for lunch is required and limited to 20 people.
