QPR Gatekeeper Training
Question. Persuade. Refer.
QPR stands for “Question, Persuade, and Refer“. It represents a public health-based suicide prevention program to teach people to: recognize suicidal warning signs in others; persuade them to get help; and refer them to appropriate help resources. QPR Gatekeeper training is very much like a CPR training program in that each year, these trainings contribute to saving thousands of lives. People become trained in a curriculum, practice what they learn, and then receive a certificate.
Location
ASPARC is happy to offer QPR training throughout the state of Alabama, with a concentration in central Alabama. Over the years, ASPARC has driven throughout the state to make sure people know what to do in situations involving suicide.
Ways To Get QPR Training
-
Group Training
ASPARC presents the QPR training material through a PowerPoint presentation in person and then follows up with a practice session immediately after. This option takes about 2 hours for the entire training.
-
Individual Training
The other option is for individual trainees to learn the QPR training material via an online computer training session. We give each trainee a unique passcode for the training that they then complete at their own pace. After successfully completing the training, each trainee will receive a printable certificate as verification.
