What is Question, Persuade, Refer, or QPR? -
Did you know that suicide is preventable? QPR can help save a life in a mental health crisis. In a QPR training, you will learn how to recognize the warning signs of suicide, ask the right questions, offer hope, and connect someone to help. Anyone can be a lifeline — QPR gives you the skills.
If you or someone you may know are experiencing a crisis, please consider connecting with someone. You are not alone, and there is hope. Here are some resources:
