QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Suicide Prevention Trainings

 

QPR (Question, Persuade, and Refer) Gatekeeper Training for Suicide Prevention is a 1 hour educational, evidence based program designed to teach lay and professional "gatekeepers" the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to respond. Gatekeepers can include anyone who is strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide (e.g., parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, coaches, caseworkers, police officers). Much like Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) or the Heimlich maneuver, the fundamentals of QPR are easily learned and can when applied save a life. The process follows three steps: (1) Question the individual's desire or intent regarding suicide, (2) Persuade the person to seek and accept help, and (3) Refer the person to appropriate resources.
