QPR Training

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer - the three 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.

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

About QPR Gatekeeper Training

The QPR Gatekeeper training is an in-person, interactive training facilitated by a certified QPR trainer. These trainings are approximately 90 minutes in length and are done in small groups of no more than 22 people to ensure participants have an in depth training experience. Registration is required to participate since each training has a capacity limit.

Once trained, the QPR Gatekeeper certification is valid for one year.

This training is free for members of the LMU community.
