About this event

  • 2 hours

Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in Question. Persuade. Refer. (QPR) learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade and refer someone to help.

During the course, you will:

  • Learn how to questions, persuade, and refer someone who may be suicidal.
  • Learn the common warning signs of suicidal behavior.
  • Learn the warning signs of suicide.
  • Learn how to offer hope to someone that is suicidal.
  • Learn how to get help for someone in crisis and safe a life.

Participants earn a two-year certification upon completion.
