About: QPR 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. Each year, thousands of Americans, like you, are saying “yes” to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor. The intended audience is St. Luke’s therapists, case managers, nurses, front line staff, but all are welcome to attend this training.
