QPR Suicide Prevention

QPR stands for Question, Persuade and Refer. It is an evidenced-based, 1.5 hour training program to help faculty, staff and students respond to someone in a mental health crisis and thinking about suicide.

Participants will learn how to:

• Recognize the warning signs of suicide
• Offer hope
• Get help and save a life 

It is recommended to wait at least six months after a loss of loved one before taking a training. However, readiness for training may vary from person to person, and this training maybe difficult for those with experiences surrounding suicide and mental health concerns.
