What is QPR?
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help prevent a suicide attempt. In just one hour, participants learn how to intervene with an individual at-risk, persuade them to get help, and guide them to the appropriate resources.
​
QPR teaches people without professional mental health backgrounds to recognize the signs that someone may be considering suicide, establish a dialogue, and guide the person to seek professional help. It can be a critical tool to save lives.
