QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps 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 to help. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor. As a QPR-trained Gatekeeper you will learn to: 1. - Recognize the warning signs of suicide 2. - Know how to offer hope 3. - Know how to get help and save a life The length of training is one hour and 30 minutes, with an additional optional 30 minutes of role-playing and discussion. This is a one-session course. Participants will receive additional resource information and a certificate following this training.
