QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) is an evidence-based suicide prevention and awareness training with over 5 million people trained worldwide. This "Gatekeeper" training helps people recognize the early warning signs of suicide and provides information on how to intervene effectively and appropriately. After the training, participants receive a certification, which will remain valid for two years, as well as supplemental online materials. It's recommended to refresh the information every year so even if you've done this training in the past, you are welcome to attend again.

Key components covered in the training:

  • The common causes of suicidal behavior
  • The warning signs of suicide
  • How to get help for someone in crisis
