Description

Question Persuade Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention Training Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to understand mental health, 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. Gatekeepers can be anyone, but include parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, ministers, doctors, nurses, office supervisors, squad leaders, foremen, police officers, advisors, caseworkers, firefighters, and many others who are strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide. As a QPR-trained Gatekeeper you will learn to: Recognize the warning signs of suicideKnow how to offer hopeKnow how to get help and save a lifeThis class lasts approximately 1.5 hours. Special Thanks With the collaboration of Find Hope Franklin, TSPN (Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network, and QPR-- we are able to offer this vital training and materials at no cost to you. Franklin Tomorrow is excited to share this important information with the community. The class will be held in the Training Room of Franklin City Hall. The room is located on the east end of the building near Church Street in downtown Franklin, with parking available on the street or parking garages.
