QPR Suicide Prevention Online TrainingQPR Saves Lives!
QPR - Question, Persuade, and Refer -- 3 simple steps that 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 for help. QPR can be learned in our Gatekeeper course in as little as one hour.
