Thank you for your interest in MDC’s upcoming free QPR trainings!
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.
QPR classes are one hour in length, and participants will receive a certificate after training date.
The next QPR training is scheduled for May 17th at 10 AM. Both in-person and virtual options are available.
What Is QPR Training?
Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying “Yes” to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor.
As a QPR-trained Gatekeeper you will learn to:
Recognize warning signs of suicide
Know how to offer hope
Know how to get help & save a life
