QPR (Suicide Prevention) Training
QPR Training will be held at the Newtown Community Center. QPR stands for Question, Persuade and Refer, a suicide prevention program designed to help individuals recognize and respond to someone in crisis.
QPR is a community-based, evidence informed suicide prevention training that teaches participants how to identify warning signs of suicide and take immediate action to help someone at risk. The training is modeled similarly to CPR, providing a structured, step-by-step approach to intervene in a crisis.
You will learn to:
- Recognize the warning signs and risk factors for suicide.
- Intervene and ask tough questions when someone is at risk for suicide.
- Effectively support other community members struggling with mental health issues and suicidal feelings.
This training is co-sponsored by The Rotary Club of Newtown and the Newtown Suicide Prevention Initiative.
