QPR Suicide Prevention

DESCRIPTION:

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.

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. 

KEY COMPONENTS COVERED IN THE WORKSHOP:

• How to Question, Persuade and Refer someone who may be suicidal.
• How to get help for yourself or learn more about preventing suicide.
• The common causes of suicidal behavior.
• The warning signs of suicide.
• How to get help for someone in crisis.

This workshop is sponsored by the Resiliency in Communities After Stress and Trauma (ReCAST) II program located within Mecklenburg County Public Health.
