QPR stands for Question, Persuade and Refer-the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. The intent is to identify and interrupt the crisis and direct that person to the proper care, increasing their chance of survival.
Just as people trained on 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.
