Feb. 24, the day this episode is airing, is the anniversary of my dad’s suicide, so it was especially important to me for this month’s episode to spotlight suicide prevention work and resources.

On today’s episode, we’re talking to Bryan Schroeder, the Executive Director of Giving Kitchen, an Atlanta-based nonprofit that provides emergency assistance for food service workers through financial support and a network of community resources.

One key resource provided by Giving Kitchen is free suicide prevention training.

QPR, the CPR of suicide prevention training, is a simple, 45-minute course that prepares you to support a friend, family member, or teammate who is contemplating suicide.

Giving Kitchen is proud to provide food service workers nationwide FREE access to the QPR suicide prevention training course online. QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer - three steps anyone can learn to prevent suicide.
