A Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Training

Question. Persuade. Refer.
These are actions we all can take to help someone who is in crisis, prevent a suicide and save a life. 

​

QPR is a 90-minute lifesaving, evidence-based, suicide prevention intervention training. Become a “Gatekeeper”: someone in a position to recognize a crisis and the warning signs that someone may be contemplating suicide.

​

What You’ll Learn

  • Recognize the warning signs and risk factors for suicide

  • Intervene and ask tough questions when someone is at risk for suicide

  • Refer someone at risk of suicide to an appropriate lifesaving resource
