Join us on February 11 or 13 for QPR Training.
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer.
3 simple steps that anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. QPR training is designed to teach you how to recognize the warning signs, clues, and suicidal communications of people in trouble, and how to respond to prevent a possible tragedy. QPR is not a form of counseling or treatment but rather it is intended to offer hope through positive action.
Gatekeepers are given information that is easy to understand and reinforced by the QPR booklet and card, complete with warning signs, methods to encourage a person to get help, and a list of resources available in your community.
Registering is required! Get started at uwwf.org/qpr |
