My head is spinning as I look back on Suicide Prevention Month and count that we were able to provide 12 educational programs and staff 7 Resource Tables at local events!  Your donations made this possible! 

THANK YOU for generously providing funding for this work!

 

A hearty thank you to Jen McGowan for recommending the SMP Foundation as the 4th quarter recipient for the Beach Municipal Federal Credit Union's Coins for Community.  

Please remember to recommend us when you hear about funding opportunities in the community!

Does your employer match your charitable contributions?  have you asked about that or other charitable giving at your workplace?  

Over 90% of people say they would offer support and assistance to someone who was thinking about suicide IF THEY KNEW WHAT TO SAY AND DO.  QPR (Question, Persuade, & Refer) is our most popular program because that's what it teaches. Get certified and feel confident that you can recognize warning signs for suicide and say and do the right things to keep someone safe and supported.  We will offer QPR training on October 19 from 12:30-2:00pm at the Slover Library.  Sign up here on Eventbrite.

Have you seen our new volunteer shirts sporting that fancy QR code on the back? The first step to volunteer is to attend Volunteer Training at 6:30pm on the second Tuesday of any month.  October 8th at 6:30 is the next training.  Email our program coordinator, Amy Woods, to sign up!  Amy@sarahmpetersonfoundation.org
