Addressing the wellness needs of those working in agriculture or related areas will be the focus of two upcoming Question-Persuade-Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention webinars sponsored by North Dakota State University Extension on April 2 and May 7. The 90-minute webinars begin at noon CDT and will address concerns of high stress levels in agriculture-related jobs and the toll on mental and emotional well-being.

  • April 2, noon to 1:30 p.m. CDT

  • May 7, noon to 1:30 p.m. CDT

Research indicates the suicide rate is significantly higher for those working in agriculture. The QPR training will provide participants with awareness and skills to recognize warning signs of a mental health crisis or suicidal thinking and respond in an appropriate and supportive way.

Though focused on individuals working in and around agriculture, anyone interested in the topic can register. There is no cost for the training, which is supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

NDSU Extension agents Katie Henry, Cavalier County, and Madeleine Smith, Pembina County, will facilitate the webinar.
