QUESTION PERSUADE REFER (QPR)

The 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.

Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. You do not need to be a mental health professional to save a life. You can help, and this training will teach you how. QPR can be learned in our Gatekeeper course in as little as one hour.

As a QPR-trained Gatekeeper you will learn to:

Recognize the warning signs of suicide
Know how to offer hope
Know how to get help and save a life

QPR training lasts an hour and is easy for employers to implement.
