This training will be conducted by two local Nantucket instructors certified by the QPR Institute.

QPR Suicide prevention training is designed for anyone to increase their knowledge level on mental health risk behaviors and become a gatekeeper. 

A QPR gatekeeper is someone in a position to recognize a crisis and the warning signs that someone may be contemplating suicide. QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps 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.

Make a difference, the life you save will be someone you know!
