Wow, this is a lot of really good discussion! I didn't expect it at all.

My friend and I have signed up to take a short QPR Gatekeeper course online.

We go and speak to all kinds of different groups about NAMI and what we offer in the area.

We currently have two IOOV presenters, and we decided to augment with a short QPR introduction.

Thanks everyone for your honest comments. It just blew my mind that 1/5 of all people suffer suicidal thinking at some point in our lives, and NEVER did ANY DOCTOR tell me that throughout my daughter's 10+ years of mental illness.

I think it's absolutely criminal. Can you imagine leaving the hospital after a cardiac event WITHOUT any WARNINGS!?!?

The stigma surrounding chronic AND acute mental illness has got to be stopped.

Peace to everyone. rainbow
