Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) Training

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 is a one-hour certification course with an optional 30-minute role-play session to practice new skills.

Coming in Spring 2027!
