SUMMARY:QPR Training (Mental Health CPR Training)
DESCRIPTION:QPR stands for Question\, Persuade\, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. \nJust as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year\, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question\, persuade\, and refer someone to help. Each year thousands of Americans\, like you\, are saying “Yes” to saving the life of a friend\, colleague\, sibling\, or neighbor. \nAccording to the Surgeon General’s National Strategy for Suicide Prevention (2001)\, a gatekeeper is someone in a position to recognize a crisis and the warning signs that someone may be contemplating suicide. \nGatekeepers can be anyone\, but include parents\, friends\, neighbors\, teachers\, ministers\, doctors\, nurses\, office supervisors\, squad leaders\, foremen\, police officers\, advisors\, caseworkers\, firefighters\, and many others who are strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide. \nAs a QPR-trained Gatekeeper you will learn to:\n\n\n\nRecognize the warning signs of suicide\nKnow how to offer hope\nKnow how to get help and save a life\n\n\n\nInformation on QPR Training: https://qprinstitute.com/about-qpr \nThis essential training is FREE and open to all.

SUMMARY:ICE 2026: How New Hampshire Businesses Can Protect their Employees and Communities
DESCRIPTION:Join us on for a conversation on February 17th among New Hampshire business leaders to provide insight and guidance on how to prepare for possible ICE deployments in your communities. This briefing is intended to provide clarity\, answer practical questions\, and ensure businesses are prepared to play a constructive role in keeping communities safe and resilient. As we have seen from other communities\, a militarized presence harms local economies\, eroding community trust\, and raising grave concerns about democratic governance. \nSpeakers: \n\nRic Estrada\, President and CEO\, Metropolitan Family Services\, Chicago\nJonathan Grode\, Green & Spiegel LLP (Philadelphia)\nAnna Dorman\, Protect Democracy\nChris Purdy\, Chamberlain Network\nMichael Smith\, National Security Leaders for America\nRichard Eidlin\, session moderator\n\nOur discussion will cover:  \n\nWhat business leaders can expect during a deployment.\nKnow Your Rights – legal options businesses have for responding to ICE actions\, including protecting your workforce and keeping operations going\nMessaging and communication recommendations\nQ&A\n\nWe know business leaders are often on the front lines of community response. An ICE deployment can affect employees\, customers\, and operations – from public perception and safety concerns to disruption of commerce and anxiety among staff and patrons. Business leaders may also face questions about their company’s responsibilities\, how to communicate with their teams\, and how to support their mayor and local officials during times of heightened tension.
