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.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a cost for the training?

Not at all! Thanks to a grant from the Florida Blue Foundation, we can offer these training sessions for FREE to anyone who is 14 years or older.

Is this training restricted to individuals who work in the mental health field?

Absolutely not! This training is for anyone who wants to learn how to recognize warning signs, clues, and suicidal communications of individuals at risk, and gain skills to act appropriately to help prevent suicide.

Someone close to me recently died by suicide, should I take this course?

If you have recently suffered a loss due to suicide, we recommend that you consider waiting before taking this course. The content may be sensitive and emotionally challenging. Please take the necessary time, and we look forward to having you join us when you can fully participate.

What if I can’t attend the entire training?

Participants are required to attend the entire training course to receive the certification. However, we have a variety of dates and times available to accommodate your schedule.

Can you offer private training for my group?

Absolutely! If you have a group of 15 people or more, please visit our website at https://www.talkablecommunities.org/qpr and fill out our private training request form.

What if I have more questions?

Feel free to email us at info@talkablecommunities.org if you have any additional questions. We’re happy to help!

Do I need to turn on my camera during the training?

We strongly encourage having your camera on throughout the training, if possible. Our training courses are designed to be interactive and experiential, not just lecture-style. Having your camera on helps create a more engaging and inclusive learning environment for all participants.
