QPR is the CPR of Suicide Prevention. In this video, I'll discuss this important training.
QPR teaches lifesaving skills, and it is the most widely taught Gatekeeper training in the world. Just as CPR prepares you for stepping in to assist with a cardiac emergency, QPR teaches the skills and knowledge to intervene to prevent suicide.
Gatekeepers can include anyone positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide (e.g., parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, clergy, coaches, caseworkers, healthcare providers, emergency responders).
The process follows three steps:
QUESTION the person about suicide
PERSUADE the person to seek and accept help
REFER the person to appropriate resources
