QPR Suicide Prevention Training for First Responders

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. This training will have a specific focus on first responders, first responder chaplains, and their loved ones.

LEARN HOW TO:

• Recognize someone in crisis
• Review the risk of suicide
• Reach out and offer support
• Apply a suicide intervention model
• Link people with community resources

TERMS:

• All participants age 18 and older are welcome to attend
• Pre-registration is required, as space is limited
• This training is provided at no charge thanks to the generous support of the Providence Community Benefit and generous donors to FailSafe for Life.
