Wellness
It’s easy to put off taking care of ourselves while we are busy with our multiple
commitments and responsibilities. When that sense of feeling overwhelmed is constant,
it's even more important to prioritize self-care. And while it may feel like “just
one more thing” to do, research shows that taking a walk, practicing yoga, or other
stress reductions techniques such as mindfulness, can truly shift our mood and help
us increase our immune system response.

respond to and reverse a suspected overdose using naloxone.
Participants also learn how to obtain free or very low-cost naloxone without a prescription
at a
local participating pharmacy
using their medical prescription insurance in conjunction with the
New York State Naloxone Co-Payment Assistance Program (N-CAP)
, or by contacting a local
registered Opioid Overdose Prevention Program
WANT TO GET NARCAN TRAINED?
Citizens and first responders can find registration information at
. Events are offered multiple times per week on a variety of schedules and are open
to anyone.  An internet-connected device with sound and video is required.
This free NYS OASAS naloxone training is supported under the State Opioid Response
grant from the federal SubstaFINDnce Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

Suicide Prevention QPR Training
Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR)
suicide prevention training: This user-friendly online training is intended to equip
all of us—administrators, faculty, staff and students—with the skills needed to identify
and respond to a mental health crisis, much in the way that CPR training is designed
to prepare people to respond to a cardiac event.
QPR training is brief; it takes about an hour to complete the course. Participants
learn how to identify and safely engage with someone who may be having a mental health
crisis, in order to direct them to assistance. The training is appropriate for a range
of settings and relationships—at work, across campus, or at home, and in both personal
and professional settings. The training does not require any clinical expertise, just
a willingness to listen, care, and help.
You can participate in Question, Persuade, Refer training by accessing
and using the organizational code SUNY. Participants will also receive a free copy
of Dr. Quinnett's eBook: "Suicide the Forever Decision."
WANT TO GET TRAINED IN QPR?
Ask for the SUNY Access Code by emailing
StudentLife@nccc.edu.
