Thanks to the continued support, service and sacrifice of Vietnam Veteran and Carpetbag Theatre Consultant Umoja Abdul Ahad, the executive staff of Carpterbag was trained by Vet to Vet Tennessee in QPR Suicide Prevention. Ed Junod, President of VTVT and QPR Master Instructor trained the team. Not only was the team trained but we learned that a member of the lead team would be enrolling in the upcoming March 14, 2019 VTVT’s Gatekeeper Instructor class and enrolled as the newest member of the Veteran/Military Friendly program.
