 , Refer is modeled after the success of the CPR medical intervention a
 nd is based on the following concepts:    Those who most need help 
 in a suicidal crisis are the least likely to ask for it.    Prior t
 o making a suicide attempt, a person typically sends warning signs. Â
  Â  Asking \"Are you thinking about killing yourself?\" is a key step 
 to preventing suicide.This training will address:    The anxiety we
  feel when we are talking to someone who is suicidal.    How to spe
 cifically ask \"the question\".    How to persuade someone to seek 
 help.    How to make sure they get the referral they need.*For the 
 purpose of this training, a community leader is anyone who regularly c
 onvenes groups of people.About the Trainer:Robbie Samuels has extensiv
