Training & Services for the Community
Our most popular service for community organizations is QPR Gatekeeper Training: Three simple steps that can save a life are Question, Persuade, and Refer.
People trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, to offer hope and to refer someone to help, often saving their life.
A gatekeeper is someone in the position to recognize a crisis and the warning signs that someone may be contemplating suicide.
Gatekeepers include parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, ministers, doctors, nurses, office supervisors, home health care workers, squad leaders, foremen, police officers, advisors, caseworkers, nursing home staff, fire fighters and many others who are strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide.
QPR Gatekeeper training can be learned in as little as an hour, however most trainings run at least 90 minutes. The training can also be expanded to include other topics such as self- harm, depression, and can be tailored for specific populations or professions.
Fee: $100/hour; limit of 25 participants per training.
We also offer presentations on depression, self-harm, suicide, and other topics by request.
