Iowa American Legion puts action behind Be the One with QPR team

The Be the One QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Team initiated from a conversation about a year ago between Iowa’s Be the One Committee chair Whitney Smith McIntosh and members, Cliff Barker and Larry “Grumpy” Haitz. The trio wanted to do more to support Be the One, veterans in crisis and those trying to help them. Through an application process, 10 additional members of The American Legion Family were selected to be part of the Iowa's Be the One QPR Team. The team will become certified Suicide Prevention Gatekeepers through the QPR Institute and then go on to train others at the post level in their districts.
