Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention

Question Persuade Refer (QPR) Suicide Intervention

Question, Persuade and Refer (QPR) Gatekeeper training is an emergency mental health intervention for suicidal persons. QPR is a basic education program that teaches everyday community members how to recognize a suicide risk and how to get a person at risk the help they need. It is also an action plan that can result in lives saved.

 

A Gatekeeper is anyone within a community who is in a position to recognize the warning signs that someone may be thinking about suicide. Gatekeepers include parents, friends, relatives, neighbors, teachers, clergy, health providers, co-workers, job site administrators, store clerks, law enforcement, advisors, case managers, firefighters and many others who are well positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide. A Gatekeeper is not expected to do treatment or long-term counseling.
