QPR Training (Question, Persuade, Refer)

QPR Training (Question, Persuade, Refer) is a mental health first aid approach designed to help individuals recognize warning signs of suicide and respond effectively. It involves three steps: Question by gently asking about the person's feelings or intentions to open dialogue; Persuade by expressing concern and encouraging them to seek help; and Refer by guiding them to appropriate professional support or resources. The goal is to provide timely intervention, support, and connection to help prevent tragic outcomes. QPR training empowers people to act confidently and compassionately in crisis situations.
