About QPR

  • Question, Persuade, and Refer (QPR) are simple steps that 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.

    For more information about QPR in our schools, email us or call (208) 664-8241. For more information about the QPR Institute and suicide prevention gatekeeper training, visit the QPR Institute.
