Project LETS, Inc. is certified to train your faculty, staff and students in QPR Suicide Prevention Training. Each workshop comes with a 60-90 minute presentation, a quiz activity, role-play activities, and a set of your own resources. The main goal of QPR Training is: Recognize someone who is at risk for suicide; Demonstrate increased knowledge of intervention skills; and describe knowledge of referral sources and how to refer someone to help.

The Project LETS Storytellers are a group of 5-10 college-aged students who have lived experience with mental illness, trauma, and/or disability. Some of our students have gone through professional treatment; some have never received treatment; some have a professional diagnosis; some do not. Some are currently living with reduced symptoms, and some are not. Healing is a process to be defined only on your terms. The Storytellers is one of our most powerful programs, and sharing with students in such a personal, honest, engaging way often yields highly positive results. After LETS program integration, high schools report an increase in the number of students seeking mental health services in their schools, or sharing information with friends and family. This is the power we have when sharing our own stories of struggles and victories. 

Why: Along with students learning about and engaging with mental health at school, it's incredibly important for parents to understand and acknowledge mental health and mental illness - as they do with physical health and wellness. Also, having a child with mental illness in high school or transitioning to college can be very difficult, often leaving parents without resources, information, and systems of support. Parents may be dealing with their stigma and shame, and it is important for parents to have a safe, comfortable environment to share struggles freely. During our Family Education Series, a new workshop/panel discussion is facilitated each month for parents in your community.
