The Berkeley Heights YMCA is hosting two vital QPR Suicide Prevention Training sessions this May. This 60–90 minute, evidence-based program is designed to teach individuals aged 16 and older how to recognize the signs of suicide and how to intervene effectively to save lives.
What is QPR?
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — three simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. By becoming a “Gatekeeper,” you can play a crucial role in recognizing a crisis, understanding the warning signs, and taking the necessary steps to support someone who may be contemplating suicide.
This training is perfect for anyone who wants to make a difference, including teachers, parents, coaches, community leaders, or anyone who interacts with others regularly.
