QPR — Question, Persuade, Refer
Each member of this community plays a critical role in suicide prevention. Question, Persuade and Refer (QPR) is a nationally-recognized suicide prevention training goal. QPR is designed for everyone, even non-mental health professionals. The goal of the program is to increase understanding of warning signs and behaviors for suicide as well as to build confidence in having conversations about suicide. This training workshop will offer direction on how to inquire about suicidal thoughts, persuade others to seek support, and refer the person for help.
SHAW will reach out about the location for this workshop.
