QPR stands for Q: Question, P: Persuade, and R: 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. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor. As a QPR-trained Gatekeeper, you will learn to recognize the warning signs of suicide, know how to offer hope, and know how to get help and save a life. Who should take this training? Everyone and anyone. Date: September 14th, 2022 Time: 1pm-3pm Location: 420 East German Street Herkimer, NY 13350. This is the Herkimer BOCES Central Business Office. The training session will be held in the Conference Room. Cost: $20 for Herkimer BOCES and 10 Component Districts
