Farmer Veteran Coalition for QPR suicide prevention virtual training session – June 27
June 27 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
You are invited to join Farmer Veteran Coalition for
FREE virtual QPR suicide prevention training sessions
This training is for anyone who is, works with or knows a farmer veteran or farmers or veterans or people. For many people QPR is a very accessible way to receive an introduction to suicide prevention. Together we can help prevent suicide.
Note: Only one training is required to become a QPR certified gatekeeper. Different dates and times in order to accommodate different schedules. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the training.
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.
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
