3 Simple Steps anyone can learn to save a life from suicide.

 

This training teaches 3 simple steps that anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR 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. QPR can be learned in this 2 hour training.

The training is especially timely as we are in the midst of stressful times. The QPR Institute emphasizes that this training can be helpful in every family and community. “At the end of 2009, an estimated one million American citizens have been trained in QPR by Certified QPR Instructors. Because of the nature of suicidal warning signs, and who is most likely to recognize and respond to them the QPR Institute strongly concur with the goal of one in four persons trained a basic gatekeeper role for suicide prevention in the United States and in other countries. Because suicides happen in families – where emergency interventions are more likely to take place — we believe that at least one person per family unit should be trained in QPR.”

This free training is offered on Zoom and is sponsored by the Columbia Falls UMC, the Nate Chute Foundation and the QPR Institute.
