ABOUT THE PROGRAM: QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — three simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. The goal is to reduce suicidal behaviors and save lives by providing innovative and proven suicide prevention training.
A gatekeeper is someone that has completed this training and knows how to recognize the warning signs of a crisis or someone contemplating suicide. Anyone can become a QPR-certified gatekeeper.
Once you’re certified, you’ll know how to:
- Recognize the warning signs of suicide
- Question, persuade, and refer someone for help
- Use local and national resources to offer hope through positive action
