QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer – three simple steps that anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. 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.
Join Dhanu Sannesy of NAMI Orange County and become a Gatekeeper who can recognize when a person may be in crisis and connect them to help—parents, friends, teachers, coworkers, first responders, and others in key positions. Through QPR training, you’ll learn to recognize warning signs of suicide, offer hope and support, and get help and save a life.
