Tuesday, September 7, 2021, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM ET, Behavioral Health Network, ZOOM

Click on the TESTS button to complete the brief pre-class survey after registering and before class starts. QPR is an emergency mental health intervention for suicidal persons created in 1995 by Paul Quinnett. An abbreviation for Question, Persuade and Refer, the intent is to identify and interrupt the crisis and direct that person to the proper care. Like CPR, QPR is designed to increase the chance of survival in the event of a crisis. In QPR, three "chain of survival" elements are taught, including recognizing warning signs, asking someone about the presence of suicidal thoughts and feelings, and referring someone to local resources. QPR Gatekeeper training is designed for both professionals and lay people, and is supported by the American Association of Suicidology as an evidence-based suicide prevention strategy.

1. Identify the skills of QPR, including questioning around suicide risk, persuading individuals to seek help, and referring to local resources.
