Suicide Prevention
QPR
QPR stands for: Question, Persuade, and Refer - 3 simple steps that 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 get the help they need. With QPR training, you can learn how to save the life of a student, friend, colleague, family member, or neighbor.
Presented by a certified QPR instructor, each QPR training includes information on:
The problem of suicide nationally and in Alabama
Common myths and facts associated with suicide
Warning signs of suicide
Tips for asking the suicide question
Methods for persuading suicidal individuals to get help
Ways of referring at risk people to local resources
AND time for Questions and Answers
