We can all save lives with QPR
The office of Student Counseling Staff are proud certified QPR instructors who are excitedly bringing this training to our students, faculty, and staff.
The QPR mission is to reduce suicidal behaviors and save lives by providing innovative, practical and proven suicide prevention training.
QPR is a 2 hour in person training where attendees will be provided with knowledge that will help them recognize someone who is at risk for suicide, intervene with those at risk, and refer to the appropriate resources.
The AS+K? Basic Community Helper Training 2024 Online Course provides participants with an overview of the basic epidemiology of suicide and suicidal behavior, including risk and protective factors. Participants also learn to recognize warning signs and how to intervene with a person they think might be at risk for suicide.
AS+K? is a 1 hours self led online course that is always accessible. The training can be completed at no cost. To access the training please click below and follow the steps to create an account.
