Training Description
QPR stands for Question, Persuade and Refer - The three (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.
The QPR mission is to reduce suicidal behaviors and save lives by providing innovative, practical and proven suicide prevention training. The signs of crisis are all around us. We believe that quality education empowers all people, regardless of their background, to make a positive difference in the life of someone they know.
Learning Objectives
- Understanding the nature and range of suicidal communications
- Knowing the groups at greatest risk of suicide and why QPR can work for them
- Suicide and suicide prevention in history
- New and promising approaches to suicide prevention
- Recognize the warning signs of suicide
- Know how to offer hope
