Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in the Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) technique learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade and refer someone to help. It is the most widely taught gatekeeper training in the United States that teaches best practices in suicide prevention.
