Essential Learning Offers a Free Webinar: Strategies to Help Community Providers Prevent Suicide in Veterans on Wednesday, October 15 @ 2 pm EDT

Suicide and factors that contribute to suicide, such as depression, PTSD and increased drug and alcohol use, are steadily on the rise among veterans returning home from war. With limited access to veteran’s healthcare services in rural areas and the stigma that is associated with veterans seeking help for mental health needs, this has made it increasingly challenging for community providers to serve this population.

Join us for a free webinar, Strategies to Help Community Providers Prevent Suicide in Veterans on Wednesday, October 15 at 2pm EDT with Paul Quinnett, PhD and President and CEO of The QPR Institute, to learn about what you can do to prevent suicide among the veterans and military personnel you serve.

Date: Wednesday, October 15, 2008
Time: 2-3 PM EDT,1-2 PM Central, 12-1 PM Mountain, 11 AM- 12 PM Pacific
