QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Suicide Prevention Training - SFV/Santa Clarita
Description
<p><span>This training is capped at 35 participants. <br /><br />QPR is a Suicidal Thinking, Behavior, Attempts prevention training for participants to be able to recognize the warning signs of Suicidal Thinking, Behavior, Attempts and question, persuade, and refer people at risk for Suicidal Thinking, Behavior, Attempts for help.</span><br /><br />QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.</p>
<p>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.<br /><br /><span>Because of the nature of suicidal warning signs, and who is most likely to recognize and respond to them, we at the QPR Institute strongly concur with the goal of one in four persons trained a basic gatekeeper role for suicide prevention in the United States and in other countries. </span><strong>Because suicides happen in families</strong><span> – where emergency interventions are more likely to take place — </span><strong>we believe that at least one person per family unit should be trained in QPR.<br /><br />Participants:<br /></strong></p>
