Question, Persuade and Refer. Three steps anyone can learn to help prevent suicide.
Join us for a FREE training and learn how to:
- recognize the warning signs of suicide
- question someone about potential suicidal thoughts
- persuade someone to seek help
- refer someone for professional assistance
The training will last for approximately 1-1.5 hours, depending on questions. Please pre-register by phone, 608-339-4375 or email, suzanne.schreiner@co.adams.wi.us.
Recognizing suicide warning signs early and knowing how to respond can help prevent a suicide from occurring and get life-saving help to those that need it. QPR training is like CPR, it saves lives! Training more people on how to question, persuade and refer a person in crisis will lead to more lives saved and prevented suicides.
