QPR Suicide Prevention Training


LEARN TO SAVE A LIFE

Every September, we recognize Suicide Prevention Awareness Month—but the need for connection and action is year-round. Suicide impacts every community, every age group, and every background. The good news: hope and prevention are possible when people are equipped with the right tools.

That’s where QPR Training comes in.

WHAT IS QPR?

Just as CPR prepares you to respond to a physical health emergency, QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) prepares you to respond to someone in a mental health crisis.

These simple steps can be the difference between despair and hope, isolation and connection, life and death.

  • Question directly and compassionately if someone is considering suicide

  • Persuade them to choose life and accept help

  • Refer them to appropriate resources for ongoing support

Building a Culture of Care

Suicide prevention isn’t just about crisis response. It’s about creating a community where mental health is valued, struggles are not hidden, and support is always within reach. A simple question—“Are you okay?”—can open the door to hope.

By taking QPR training, you’ll join United Way and the One Hall initiative in building a safer, more compassionate community.
