QPR for Suicide Prevention

As someone who may be in the best possible position to prevent a suicide,
you will find that QPR is designed to help you save a life. QPR consists of these three skills:

Question... a person about suicide
Persuade... someone to get help and,
Refer... someone to the appropriate resource

QPR is not a form of counseling or treatment. Rather it is intended to offer hope through positive action. By learning QPR, you will come to recognize the warning signs, clues, and suicide communications of people in trouble and gain skills to act vigorously to prevent a possible tragedy.
