    the warning signs, clues and suicidal communications  of people

     in trouble to ACT vigorously to prevent a possible tragedy.

    SUICIDE PREVENTION GATEKEEPERS

    A gatekeeper is anyone trained to recognize a suicide crisis and, because of their training, knows how and where to find help.

    WHY QPR FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION GATEKEEPERS?

    QPR gatekeeper training takes just one hour and is taught in a format that is clear and concise. Gatekeepers are given information that is easy to understand and reinforced by a QPR booklet and card complete with warning signs, methods to encourage a person to get help and a list of resources available in your community.

    WHO TEACHES QPR GATEKEEPERS?

    QPR was created and developed by Paul Quinnett, Ph.D. of Spokane, Washington.  Dr. Quinnett began a QPR Instructor Certification Program to allow qualified candidates to teach QPR and increase the number of gatekeepers trained to act in a bold and positive manner to prevent a suicide and save a life.
