QPR Training (Question, Persuade, Refer) is a suicide prevention program designed to teach people how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and respond effectively. Similar to CPR, QPR provides simple, actionable steps: Question the person about suicidal thoughts, Persuade them to seek help, and Refer them to appropriate resources. The training equips participants with the knowledge and confidence to intervene early, support someone in distress, and potentially save a life.
