Suicide Prevention: QPR Community Gatekeeper Training

QPR (Question, Persuade, and Refer) Gatekeeper Training for Suicide Prevention is a 90 minute educational program designed to teach lay and professional "gatekeepers" the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to respond.

Gatekeepers can be anyone who is strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide (e.g., parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, coaches, caseworkers, police officers).

Just like CPR, QPR is an emergency response to someone in crisis and can save lives.

After this training, QPR participants will:

  • Recognize someone at risk for suicide,
  • Intervene with those at risk; and,
  • Refer them to an appropriate resource.

Participants receive a QPR booklet and wallet card as a review and resource tool that includes local referral resources.

Please review and share the attached flier.
