Our full day conferences are fully planned and coordinated independently for the Franklin community. The content and design of each TEDx event is unique and developed locally but all of them have common key features and align to TEDx branding. \n\n\n\nWhat is TEDx?\nIn the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas\, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local\, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxFranklin\, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxFranklin event\, TED Talks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program\, but individual TEDx events\, including ours\, are self-organized. \n\n\n\nThis independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED.

SUMMARY:July 24 QPR Training
DESCRIPTION:Question Persuade Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention Training \nJust as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year\, people trained in QPR learn how to understand mental health\, 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. Gatekeepers 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\nRecognize the warning signs of suicide\nKnow how to offer hope\nKnow how to get help and save a life\n\nThe class will take one hour to 1.5 hours to complete. \nWith the collaboration of Find Hope Franklin\, TSPN (Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network\, and QPR– we are able to offer this vital training and materials at no cost to you. Franklin Tomorrow is excited to share this important information with the Franklin community.
