Event Details
QPR training (Question, Persuade, Refer) are three simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver to help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Gatekeepers can be anyone, but include parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, ministers, doctors, nurses, office supervisors, squad leaders, foreman, police officers, advisors, caseworkers, firefighters, and many others who are strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide.

1. Recognize the warning signs of suicide
2. Increase awareness of stigma and understand suicide as a public health issue
3. Know how to offer hope
4. Know how to access local and national referral resources
5. Know how to get help and save a life
