Suicide Prevention: QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer)
QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer): A Suicide Prevention Program
Suicide can be seen as a journey of increasing hopelessness that starts with an idea and ends with an act. Anybody with the right skills can disrupt this journey. QPR Gatekeeper training will teach you how to recognize warning signs for suicide, how to approach someone who feels suicidal, and how (and where) to refer that person for help.
