QPR Gatekeeper Training for Suicide Prevention

Location: Suffern Campus (145 College Road, Suffern, NY)

QPR (Question, Persuade, and Refer) Gatekeeper Training for Suicide Prevention is a 1–2-hour educational program designed to teach lay and professional “gatekeepers” the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to respond. Gatekeepers can include anyone who is strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide (e.g., parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, coaches, caseworkers, police officers). The process follows three steps: (1) Question the individual’s desire or intent regarding suicide, (2) Persuade the person to seek and accept help, and (3) Refer the person to appropriate resources.
