Suicide PreventionQuestion, Persuade, Refer (QPR): Suicide Prevention Training Time: 75 Minutes Audience: Students, Faculty and Staff Contact Person: Learning Outcome: Participants will receive training to become a QPR Gatekeeper, and will be able to better assist individuals who may be suicidal. Description: Three simple steps that anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. According to the Surgeon General’s National Strategy for Suicide Prevention (2001), a gatekeeper is someone in a position to recognize a crisis and the warning signs that someone may be contemplating suicide. Gatekeepers include parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, ministers, doctors, nurses, office supervisors, squad leaders, foremen, police officers, advisors, caseworkers, firefighters, and many others who are strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide. As a QPR-trained Gatekeeper you will learn to: recognize the warning signs of suicide; know how to offer hope; know how to get help and save a life. |
