QPR Suicide Prevention Training
Question, Persuade, Refer. Ask a question, save a life. This class provides you with skills to intervene when someone is experiencing a life threatening crisis. It takes courage to overcome our own fears and reach out to those who might need someone. QPR is not a form of counseling or treatment. Rather it is intended to offer hope through positive action. By learning QPR, you will come to recognize the warning signs, clues, and suicidal communications of people in trouble, and gain skills to act vigorously to prevent a possible tragedy.
Trainings can be scheduled for groups. If you are interested in having a training occur in your organization or group, please call 262-896-8430
