QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — a nationally recognized suicide prevention “gatekeeper” training program that teaches anyone how to recognize the warning signs of someone in crisis, how to ask them about suicidal thoughts, how to encourage them to seek help, and how to connect them with appropriate support and resources. It’s designed to empower laypeople — much like CPR teaches basic life-saving physical skills — to intervene early and help prevent suicide.

Participants will learn the three core steps of QPR—how to question someone about suicidal thoughts, persuade them to seek help, and refer them to appropriate resources. The training includes real-life scenarios, practical strategies, and guidance on responding with empathy and clarity. By the end of the session, attendees will feel more prepared to act as a gatekeeper and connect individuals to the help they need. Open to all.
