Check out these progress photos from the Erinswood Trail Project! The base course for the trail is almost complete! In the coming month the base course will be finished, the top course will be started, benches and signs should be delivered and installed and work on the parking lot will begin.

Whether you're an adult community member or a teen (13+) ready to make a difference, there's a place for you here. This event is free to all. RSVP at: https://extension.wsu.edu/snohomish/2026/06/12/be-the-one-community-qpr-su***de-prevention-training/

Please see the following workshop options by population:

Adult Track: Adult Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR). 3:00pm - 5:00pm.

QPR is a brief, evidence-based su***de prevention gatekeeper training that teaches community members to recognize the warning signs of a su***de crisis and connect someone to help. In a study of over 10,000 trained gatekeepers, more than 1 in 5 identified someone at risk within a year of training, and over 92% made a successful referral to care. Attending this free training means you'll leave knowing how to spot warning signs, start a compassionate conversation, and take action that could save a life. Snacks provided.

Youth Track: Question, Persuade, Refer Teen (QPR Teen). 3:00pm - 5:00pm.

QPR Teen brings the same evidence-based training to youth ages 13–19, building the skills and confidence to support peers who may be struggling. Teens who complete the training join a growing community of young people who know how to be the one who shows up when it matters most. Snacks provided.

Youth - Optional Sharing Session: 5:00pm - 5:30pm

Are you a teen who wants your voice heard in your community? Do you want to showcase the work you're doing to spread a health and wellness message? QPR Teen participants are invited to stay for this informal planning session to discuss organizing a countywide teen health and wellness advocacy event. Open to all QPR Teen attendees — no separate registration required.
