QPR is not intended to be a form of counseling or treatment.
QPR is intended to offer hope through positive action.
QPR is intended to teach those who are in a position to recognize the warning signs, clues and suicidal communications of people in trouble to ACT vigorously to prevent a possible tragedy.
SUICIDE PREVENTION GATEKEEPERS
A gatekeeper is anyone trained to recognize a suicide crisis and, because of their training, knows how and where to find help.
WHY QPR FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION GATEKEEPERS?
QPR gatekeeper training only takes about 1 hour and is taught in a format that is clear and concise. Gatekeepers are given information that is easy to understand and reinforced by a QPR booklet and card complete with warning signs, methods to encourage a person to get help and a list of resources available in your community.
