On September 13, 2020 Vet to Vet Tennessee resumed their QPR Gatekeeper Suicide Prevention training in person at the request of Dr. G. Dean Sinclair, 134th Air Refueling Wing Director of Psychological Health due to an increase concern about an increase in suicidal ideations. QPR Instructors Sheryn & Don Davis and Pat & Ed Junod trained 31 members in the 90 minute class.
On September 30th Dr. Sinclair traveled to Vet to Vet Tennessee’s new office in Madisonville to present VTVT with a Certificate of Appreciation. The training is needed more now than ever since the pandemic begin. The Department of Defense announced an increase in Army suicide by 30%, National Guard by 10%, and all services by 20%.
