Suicide Prevention QPR Training

What is QPR?

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer -- 3 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. QPR can be learned in our Gatekeeper course in as little as one hour.

Ashland County has five certified QPR trainers who are available to provide training to any group in the community at NO COST. The training can be done in 1 or 2 hours. To schedule a QPR training for your agency or organization, please contact Sandy Hoffman at the mental Health and Recovery Board: 419-281-3139
