Monthly Question-Persuade-Refer (QPR) Training (Zoom)

Question-Persuade-Refer (QPR) is an evidence-based training aimed at the general public (ages 16+) that allows you to recognize warning signs and intervene with someone who may be suicidal. Through videos, a slideshow presentation, and a group role play, you will gain valuable information and practice life-saving skills. After the training you will be considered a QPR Gatekeeper and receive a certificate good for 2 years.

We believe everyone over age 16 should be QPR trained! That's why we offer this training for free every month on the first Wednesday, in the evening. Please note: We will postpone the training whenever fewer than 5 people sign up. 

If evenings don't work for you, our partners at The Hub (thehubct.org/events) offer QPR trainings twice a month on Tuesday mornings, also online. 

Group trainings: We can also come to your location and provide the training for a group; just reach out to Margaret at mwatt@positivedirections.org to schedule.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have been personally affected by a suicide in the past 6 months, please do not take this training at this time. We offer the class monthly, so please come back in the future!
