CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Q. P. R. stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.
Suicidal thoughts are common. Suicide threats and attempts are less common, but much more frequent than most people realize. Suicide is the most common psychiatric emergency and a leading cause of death in America and around the world.
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.
If you are a professional caregiver, first responder, school staff, volunteer, public-facing employee of any number of businesses, you very likely to have come in contact with suicidal people. Much like CPR or the Heimlich maneuver, the fundamentals of QPR are quickly learned and may save a life.
