CCS continuing Zero Suicide initiative
By Rudy Diaz
Blue Mountain Eagle
Community Counseling Center is acquiring new tools
that will help push the Zero Suicide initiative.
Question, Persuade and Respond is one new technique,
and Assessing and Managing Suicide Risk is another that
will be taught to CCS employees for suicide prevention.
Once taught, these techniques can be taught to other health
providers in the community.
QPR will help people understand what they can do when
they see somebody with suicidal expressions.
“Sometimes people think they are incompetent or they
downplay the significance of somebody expressing suicidal
tendencies,” said CCS Director Kimberly Lindsay. “QPR is a
short effective intervention that lays out for folks what to do.”
Lindsay said these programs will assist CCS with the
development of the training, screening, assessment and
staffing around suicide awareness.
In informing the public about suicide and suicide pre-
vention, CCS brought in people from the Suicide Preven-
tion Alliance to speak with the community and somebody
from Lines for Life spoke to the community and worked
with CCS staff.
QPR will be available to other members of the health
community in 18 months while all the ASMR will be avail-
able by mid-2020. These programs will be taught within
CCS first and then shared with the public.

Community Counseling Solutions Executive Director Kimberly Lindsay listens
to Grant County Court discussion on June 12.
The John Day Video Shoppe was
robbed late Dec. 1 or early Dec. 2
with a significant amount of inven-
tory stolen from the store.
The thieves forcefully broke into
the building, according to John Day
Police Chief Mike Durr.
If anybody has additional informa-
tion regarding the incident, call the
police department at 541-575-0030.
Durr advised people to make
sure to secure their belongings
with layers of security and tricks
that would prevent a robbery from
happening.
“The first layer of protection
would be locking your doors,”
Durr said. “Alarms, lighting and
video cameras help make a busi-
ness seem unappealing for rob-
bers to steal from. Crime and be
prevented through environmental
designs.”
