CLA’s BE THE LIGHT conducts the QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer), and COPES (Calm Down, Observe Emotions, Positive Thinking, Explore Options and Seek Help) Training Programme as part of the Community Suicide Prevention Programme.

Our mission is to train 8,000 bearers of Hope through evidence-based models.

1. Train communities in Singapore to be Gatekeepers in Suicide Prevention, thus preventing suicidal attempts and deaths among the youths;

2. To de-stigmatise suicide locally and for the communities to intervene and assist their peers if they identify suicidal thoughts.

This will be used to develop a curriculum and to train community volunteers and youth in the area of Mental Health which is specifically for this project.

#MindYourMind aims to equip participants with essential skills to manage emotions and stress, and be self-aware. Bundled with a QPR Gatekeeper Equipping programme, this aims to reduce suicidal behaviours and save lives by providing innovative, practical and proven suicide prevention training. The signs of crisis are all around us.

Quality education empowers all people, regardless of their background, to make a positive difference in the life of someone they know. The course is taught in a clear, concise format using the latest educational technology and practices.

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer to the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.
