The QPR Institute created the QPR training module. The Institute’s mission is to “save lives and reduce suicidal behaviors by providing innovative, practical and proven suicide prevention training.”

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.

According to the QPR Institute, “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.”
