QPR is an emergency mental health intervention for suicidal persons that any community member can provide. The intent is to identify and interrupt the crisis and direct that person to the proper care.
By participating in this two-hour QPR Gatekeeper training, you will learn
about:
• Early Recognition of suicide | The sooner warning signs are detected and
help sought, the better the outcome of a suicidal crisis will be.
• Early QPR | Asking someone about the presence of suicidal thoughts and
feelings opens up a conversation that may lead to a referral for help.
• Early intervention and referral | Referral to local resources or calling for
evaluation and possible referral is critical.
