QPR Training
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — Three simple steps all of us can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR help save thousands of lives each year, those trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis. QPR Gatekeepers can be anyone but include those individuals most present in one’s life such as parents, friends, neighbors, doctors, supervisors, and many others who are well positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide. In this two-hour course, participants will learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of suicidal ideation, dispel myths about suicide, learn the three simple steps to intervene in a crisis and help save lives!
