How to Help Someone in Distress  — Question, Persuade and Refer (QPR) Training

Question, Persuade and Refer (QPR)  trains you on how  to recognize and respond to an individual in psychological distress and how to get this person the help they need.  You will  know how to recognize the warning signs of someone in distress and possibly prevent a suicide.  You will be introduced to 3 simple steps that can be used to help someone in distress:

  • how to talk with someone in distress
  • know how to offer hope
  • know how to get help for these individuals

You will learn how to recognize the early signs of suicide risk and provide a positive response.
