Suicide Prevention Training (QPR)

Suicide Prevention Training (QPR) is a FREE virtual training on Wednesday, January 21st 2026 from 10:00am-12:00pm. CST

QPR is an emergency mental health intervention for suicidal persons. It stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps 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.

Thanks to a grant from SAMSHA, community members' tickets will be paid for; learners may attend at no charge.

**Please note, Illume: The Behavioral Health Center of Excellence will not be offering Continuing Education Units for this training.
