QPR Gatekeeper Training

Date: August 30
Time: noon - 1 p.m. (Central time)

Help save a life with three simple steps. Just as people trained in CPR help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and to question, persuade, and refer someone to help.

QPR Gatekeeper Training is brought to you by your colleague, Cindy Davis, MPH, RDN.
