What is QPR?

QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Gatekeeper Training for Suicide Prevention is a 1.5 hour training 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 the risk of suicide.

As a QPR-trained Gatekeeper, you will learn to:

• Recognize warning signs of suicide
• Know how to offer hope
• Know how to get help and save a life

This training will be provided by MiraCosta College’s mental health provider Abby Burd, MSW, LCSW, PMH-C. The QPR Gatekeeper Trainings are funded by the County of San Diego HHSA, and are offered at no cost to attendees on behalf of the San Diego County Suicide Prevention Council.

Registration

Palomar College employees can register for the training on the PD Portal. This in-person training will be held in the EDGE Center Classroom: H-112.
