You will learn what a Safety Plan looks like and how to create one.Two hours of suicide prevention are required for licensure in TN beginning in January 2020. This course will not be recorded due to the sensitive nature of the topic of suicide and cameras must be turned on for the entire course.

This course satisfies the requirement for 2 hours of suicide prevention training required every four years (i.e. every 2 renewal cycles). TNOTA offers QPR courses 4-5 times per year. Registration will be capped at 35 participants.
