Just as CPR prepares you for stepping in to assist with a cardiac emergency, QPR will give you the skills and knowledge to intervene to possibly prevent suicide.
ANY HUMAN BEING from ANYWHERE is welcome to attend this training.
We will address information specific to Alabama and Southeastern US culture, and national and worldwide statistics.
The process follows three steps:
- Question the individual's desire or intent regarding suicide.
- Persuade the person to seek and accept help.
- Refer the person to appropriate resources.
Trainees receive QPR materials and resources that include Alabama State and National referrals.
KEY COMPONENTS COVERED IN TRAINING:
How to Question, Persuade, and Refer someone who may be suicidal. Learn how to get help for yourself or more about preventing suicide.
- The common causes of suicidal behavior.
- The warning signs of suicide.
- How to get help for someone in crisis.
