QPR Gatekeeper Suicide Prevention Training is a grass-roots way for you to help keep friends, loved ones, and our community safe. QPR is an acronym for Question, Persuade, Refer. Not unlike CPR it teaches basic skills to help a person in crisis. In this 2-hour training, you are taught how to ask the suicide Question, how to Persuade a person to tell you more and to seek help, and Refer to outside help.
It is offered in a small setting of no more than 12 participants to allow for time to ask lots of questions and try out newly learned skills through role plays.
