In this training, participants (18 years old and up) will learn how to identify if someone is considering suicide, how to start the conversation and what to say, and how to connect them with help.
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.
