The mission of Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) is to reduce suicidal behaviors and save lives by providing innovative, practical and proven suicide prevention training. The signs of crisis are all around us. We believe that quality education empowers all people, regardless of their background, to make a positive difference in the life of someone they know. No Falcon should struggle alone. QPR will provide the skills and resources to respond and provide support to members of our BGSU community.
Learning Objectives:
As a QPR-trained Gatekeeper you will learn to:
Recognize the warning signs of suicide.
Know how to offer hope.
Know how to get help and save a life.
