Prevention

B4Stage4 is a philosophy of prevention.  When people begin to notice early symptoms of diabetes, cancer, or heart disease, medical practitioners begin early intervention to keep the illness from progressing.  This same ideology is what B4Stage4 promotes for mental illness as well.  Brain health is health, and when we begin early intervention, we can prevent illness from progressing to a debilitating state.  

Our goal is mental wellness for all!

School Shooting Prevention Training

Free! An online learning activity to prevent school shootings.

In this post, the QPR Institute in partnership with Hope Squad releases a first-of-its-kind web-based training program to prepare ordinary citizens to recognize and respond to red flag warning signs of a possible school shooter.

Based on the “If you see something, say something” model, the training takes roughly 30 minutes, is free to the public, and provides a certificate of course completion. It is available 24/7, accessible via any platform or smart phone, and may be shared with one’s social network.

We, like so many others, are tired of waiting for change.  By taking this training, you can become some of the change you have been waiting for.  You can learn to identify developing violence toward self or others, and in the case of most school shootings, become part of the solution to the early risk identification and intervention necessary to avert another tragic loss of life.
