QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer—three 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.

Register for our Gatekeeper course Nov. 28 from 2–3 p.m. and learn QPR in one hour. Participants will learn valuable tools to respond to and support Drake students and anyone that may exhibit the warning signs of suicide. Register here.
