About QPR: QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps 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. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor.
QPR can be learned in our Gatekeeper course in as little as one hour.
Who can be trained?
QPR Gatekeeper training is recommended for professionals, family members, and community members. Because of the nature of suicidal warning signs, and who is most likely to recognize and respond to them, it is the goal of the QPR Institute for 1 in 4 individuals, or one individual per family, to be trained to prevent suicide.
In short, the more people trained in QPR, the more lives saved.
