Suicide Prevention: QPR Training

Question, Persuade, Refer - QPR Class is similar to CPR in that it teaches you how to respond to someone in an emergency. Just as CPR teaches you the skill set to take immediate, informed action when someone is having a heart attack, QPR teaches you to intervene when someone has a broken heart. This evidence based class is 1.5 hours and is taught in a clear, concise format using best practices. You will earn a one year certificate after learning about how to prevent suicide through discovering the common causes of suicidal behavior, the warning signs of suicide, and how to get help for a person in crisis. The three basic steps are to learn to ask the question, how to listen and where to make a referral. Preventing suicide, it’s what people do.
