QPR Training

Just like CPR, QPR is an emergency response to someone in crisis and can save lives. QPR is the most widely taught Gatekeeper training in the world. Join us for a free certificate training session on QPR for you to use in both your personal and professional life.

Lunch from Apple Spice is included and space is limited, so advance registration is required.

QPR is designed to raise public awareness about suicide. It will help people better identify individuals who are at most risk for suicide.

Question Persuade Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention Training with Mindy Tate and Marianne Schroer 

Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to understand mental health, recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis, and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor. Gatekeepers can be anyone, but 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
• Special Thanks
