What is QPR?
Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps 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 the evidence-based QPR course learn how to:
recognize the warning signs of suicide crisis
question the individual’s desire or intent regarding suicide
persuade the person to seek and accept help and
refer the person to appropriate resources
FAQs
Is this training appropriate for children?
QPR is recommended for middle school aged children to adults. In fact, attending this training with your kiddo is a great way to open the lines of communication regarding suicide and things they may be seeing or watching on social media or TV. Plus, tacos!
What do I need to bring?
YOU! We will provide all necessary materials, including a QPR training booklet that is yours to keep.
What if I have additional questions?
For any other questions or information please contact our Program Director, Kristi Wiley, at k.wiley@jehfoundationfw.org
“The hour we spent together going through the QPR training was eye-opening and empowering. I now know how to ask “Have you ever thought of hurting yourself?”, a question I never could have asked before. I feel now that truly, I could save someone’s life.”
