You are invited to a QPR Gatekeeper Training Zoom meeting.

NKHS offers QPR Gatekeeper Training for people of any age to raise awareness,
dispel myths and misconceptions, and teach three skills that can help save a life. A
QPR Gatekeeper will learn to recognize the warning signs of suicide, know how to
offer hope, know how to get help and save a life.
What to expect in the 90 minute to 2-hour virtual training:
*Complete the Pre-Training survey
*Time is allowed for questions, comments, and reactions to the QPR concepts and skills at *any time
during this training – instructors will monitor the chat feature during the training
* Watch the introductory video, About Suicide
* Watch the Introduction to QPR video
* Learn QPR, a PowerPoint presentation.
* Review common myths, misconceptions, and statistics about suicide and warning signs of suicidal behavior
*Certified QPR Trainers are available after the formal training to talk with participants
*Complete the Post-Training survey
*Participants will receive Northeast Kingdom, Vermont, and national suicide prevention contacts, the QPR booklet, Certificate of Completion and other training materials prior to or directly after the virtual training.
Talking about suicide will not encourage suicide and may be the only thing that will prevent it.
Simply offering hope along with social and spiritual support can avert a suicide attempt entirely. Quality education empowers all people, regardless of their background, to make a positive difference in the life of someone they know.
"Like CPR, QPR is an emergency response to someone in a suicide crisis. Also, like CPR in the Chain of Survival from a life-threatening medical crisis, early recognition of warning signs, early intervention and early professional assessment and care can save lives." QPR Institute
