Question. Persuade. Refer. (QPR)
QPR Suicide Prevention Certification provides basic-level suicide prevention information, outreach, and education that holds the same weight as a CPR certification. The 60-minute presentation details how to ask for and give help and where to find referral information. The presentation will also include a booklet, a tear-our reference card, and a nationally-recognized certification. Attendees will learn:
The scope of the problem
Facts vs. myths
Warning signs
To practice asking the suicide question
To persuade someone to get help
To refer a person for help and to local resources
Save Lives
Lowering the suicide rate requires reducing stigma. Colorado has the 9th highest rate of suicide in the country. For Coloradoans aged 10-24, suicide is the leading cause of death. Nationally, it is the fourth leading cause of death for men aged 35-54. Since 2001, the U.S, suicide rate has increased 31%.
