PAGE A2, KEIZERTIMES, FEBRUARY 7, 2020 Salem-Keizer School District plans suicide prevention trainings On Wednesday, Feb. 12, Salem-Keizer Public Schools (SKPS) will be hosting a free suicide prevention training, Question, Persuade and Refer (QPR) session at Claggett Creek Middle School,1810 Alder Dr. N.E. at 5:30 p.m. Throughout February and March, Salem Health and SKPS are partnering to provide QPR training, a simple process that anyone 14 years of age and older can be trained to use to help save the life of a person who is in crisis. During each training session, attendees will learn: myths and facts about suicide, how to recognize signs someone may be thinking about suicide, how to ask questions to assess the situation, how to persuade the person to stay alive long enough to get help and how to refer them to a professional for help to get them through the crisis and treat any underlying mental illness. Events will be held in English or Spanish and free dinner and childcare will be provided, with the exception of the student session on March 3. Due to the format of the training, translation services will not be offered. Other QPR training dates and locations: South Salem High School Feb. 18 at 5:30 p.m.; North Salem High School Feb. 20 at 5:30 p.m.; West Salem High School Feb. 26 at 5:30 p.m.; and South Salem High School March 3 at 3:30 p.m. (all student session). All sessions require registration and can be made online: tinyurl.com/qprskps Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people ages 10 to 24 and one out of six students nationwide (grades 9–12) seriously considered suicide in the past year.

SUBSCRIBE KEIZERTIMES/Lauren Murphy A YEAR’S WORTH OF KEIZER NEWS DELIVERED FOR ONLY T4 owner Dicky Chan makes a milk tea at the newest shop in Keizer Station. Bobba tea, fried squid and so much more now at T4 By LAUREN MURPHY Of the Keizertimes In late December, T4 Tea House opened its third Or- egon location in Keizer Sta- tion, 6395 Keizer Station Blvd. #104, between Kay Jewelers and Massage Envy. T4 is a franchise location of the Taiwan-based company T4清茶達人, which opened in Taiwan in 2004. According to their website the name, T4, comes from the greeting, “a cup of tea for you.” The com- pany’s goal is to bring Taiwan- ese tea and street food to cus- tomers world wide. “We wanted to share the philosophy of connecting in- dividuals through a cup of tea with the Oregon community,” said co-owners Dicky Chan and Michelle Wong. They choose Keizer as their second Oregon location be- cause of its access to I-5. “We are able to serve cus- tomers from northbound Woodburn to southbound Salem making Keizer an ideal location,” Chan said. Chan and Wong also own the T4 in Clackamas, but not the T4 Beaverton store. The tea house offers various drinks – mango royal tea, taro milkshake and thai milk tea are some of the best sellers Chan mentioned. Snack offerings range from potstickers to deep fried squid and egg-puffs. ASK MR. TRASH $35 CALL 503-390-1051 WE TAKE PRIDE in being staff ed better than any other senior living community Q.
