QPR Suicide Prevention Training

Learn Three Simple Steps That Could Help Save a Life

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer—three simple steps anyone can learn to help someone who may be experiencing a suicide crisis. This evidence-based training teaches participants how to recognize warning signs, start supportive conversations, and connect individuals with professional help.

 

Morgan County Substance Abuse Council offers QPR training free of charge to schools, businesses, churches, organizations, and community groups throughout Morgan County.

Suicide Prevention Starts With Awareness

Many people who are struggling show warning signs before a crisis occurs, but those signs often go unnoticed. QPR Suicide Prevention Training helps participants recognize when someone may be at risk and provides the confidence to respond in a caring and supportive way.

 

The goal of QPR is not to replace professional mental health care. Instead, it empowers everyday people with the knowledge to recognize a crisis, offer support, and help connect someone with the resources they need.

What You’ll Learn

During QPR training, participants learn how to:

  • Recognize the warning signs of suicide
  • Start a conversation with someone who may be struggling
  • Offer hope and encouragement
  • Connect individuals with professional resources
  • Respond calmly and confidently during a crisis
  • Understand the importance of early intervention

The training is practical, easy to understand, and designed for people of all backgrounds.


Who Should Attend?

QPR is valuable for anyone who wants to be prepared to help someone in need, including:

  • Schools and Educators
  • Parents and Caregivers
  • Churches and Faith Communities
  • Employers and Workplaces
  • Community Organizations
  • Healthcare Providers
  • First Responders
  • Anyone Interested in Suicide Prevention

No prior experience or training is required.


Why QPR Matters

Suicide prevention is a community effort. When more people know how to recognize warning signs and respond with compassion, more lives can be positively impacted.

QPR provides practical skills that encourage early intervention and help create communities where individuals feel supported and connected. A simple conversation can make a meaningful difference, and knowing how to respond may help someone take the first step toward getting the help they need.
