QPR & More
QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer)
QPR is a nationally recognized, evidenced-based certification training that offers 1 hour of CEUs and holds the same weight as a CPR certification. Participants will learn:
- Demographics and trends of suicide nationally and locally
- Warning signs of suicide
- Myths and facts of suicide
- How to ask the “suicide question”
- How to persuade people to get help
- How to connect people to care
QPR is a great training for groups or organizations to get a solid foundation in how to practically identify and help those contemplating suicide or experiencing emotional or mental crisis. ASP offers this free 60-90 minute training to any interested party.
If you’d like to request a QPR training for your group, please fill out the “request a training” form at the bottom of this page.
