Question Persuade Refer (Q.P.R.) Parent Training

The mission of Q.P.R. is to save lives and reduce suicidal behaviors by providing innovative, practical, and proven suicide prevention training. Much like CPR, an Emergency Medical Intervention. Q.P.R. is an Emergency Mental Health Intervention for persons with suicidal ideation.

Created in 1995, Q.P.R. is the abbreviation for Question, Persuade and Refer. The intent of the process is to identify and interrupt the crisis and direct the person to the proper care.

Once trained, class participants know how to recognize warning signs,

how to offer hope; and where to get help to save a life.
