QPR TRAINING
*Question*Persuade*Refer



Saving Veterans one at a time

WHAT IS 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 help. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor. QPR can be learned in our Gatekeeper course in as little as one hour. 
​
In One Hour, You Can Become a Gatekeeper
​
According to the Surgeon General’s National Strategy for Suicide Prevention (2001), a gatekeeper is someone in a position to recognize a crisis and the warning signs that someone may be contemplating suicide. Gatekeepers include parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, ministers, doctors, nurses, office supervisors, squad leaders, foremen, police officers, advisers, caseworkers, firefighters, and many others who are strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide.  
As a QPR-trained Gatekeeper you will learn to:
recognize the warning signs of suicide
know how to offer hope
know how to get help and save a life
