QPR Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper ProgramQPR Institute’s mission is to save lives and reduce suicidal behaviors by providing innovative, practical and proven suicide prevention training. We believe that quality education empowers all people, regardless of their background, to make a positive difference in the life of someone they know. QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the three simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.

Suicidal thoughts are common. Suicide threats and attempts are less common, but much more frequent than most people realize. Suicide is the most common psychiatric emergency and a leading cause of death in America and around the world.

Gatekeepers can be anyone, but include parents, friends, neigh-bors, teachers, ministers, doctors, nurses, office supervisors, squad leaders, foremen, police officers, advisors, caseworkers, firefighters, and many others who are strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide. QPR can be learned in our Gatekeeper course in as little as one hour.S E C DAT E ( S ) DAY ( S ) T I M E ( S )
