For many people QPR is a very accessible way to receive an introduction to suicide prevention. Together we can help prevent suicide.
The length of training one hour and 30 minutes with an additional optional 30 minutes for role playing and more time for Q & A QPR Suicide Prevention TrainingQPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — 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. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor.
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
Monica McConkey, Rural Mental Health Specialist is the trainer.
