About the Event

• QPR is an evidence-based program that teaches people about suicide awareness and prevention. QPR functions as an emergency mental health intervention for suicidal persons, much as CPR works for people having a heart attack. An abbreviation for Question, Persuade and Refer, the intent is also to identify and interrupt the crisis and direct that person to the proper care.
• QPR is not intended for mental health professionals. It is for anyone in the community. QPR is intended to teach the warnings signs of suicide and how to ask the suicide questions, how to encourage people to get the needed help and where to find local resource for immediate assistance.
• Asking the question could save a life.
