Question Persuade Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Training – Session Cancelled

  • February 20, 2019
    7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Note: due the impending winter storm and under enrollment, we are cancelling this QPR training session — apologies for the inconvenience. There are a number of other QPR training sessions scheduled in the upcoming weeks. Visit the Events page to choose one that is convenient to your schedule.

 

Just as people are trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver to help save thousands of lives each year, people are trained in QPR to save a life from a death by suicide. QPR stands for Question Persuade Refer and teaches someone how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis, how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help.

KEY COMPONENTS COVERED IN TRAINING:

  • How to Question, Persuade and Refer someone who may be suicidal
  • How to get help for yourself or learn more about preventing suicide
  • The common causes of suicidal behavior
  • The warning signs of suicide
  • How to get help for someone in crisis
