Most people struggle with a mental health issue for an average of 10 years before seeking help. Through generous funding, our YMCA Counseling and Social Services team offers QPR, (Question, Persuade, Refer) suicide prevention training to staff and the greater public, sharing simple steps to help anyone recognize warning signs and connect those in crisis to critical support. Learn about the importance of prevention and how anyone can learn vital tools that save lives.

Our Y has nurtured strong individuals and communities since 1874, transforming lives through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Learn more about the ways your support to our Annual Campaign opens our doors for all. > ymcanj.org/y-giving/annual-campaign
