Suicide Prevention Training 

QPR 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.

Learning Objectives: 

•Discuss brief history of suicide prevention, prevalence and risk factors  •Describe Gatekeeper role 
•Attitudes Toward Suicide​ 
•Warning Signs of Suicide​
•Ways Ask the Suicide Question​ 
•How to Persuade Someone to Stay Alive​
•Techniques for Referring Individuals to Get Help
