Audience:
Counselors, Social Workers, Pupil Service Staff, Community Professionals, and others concerned about youth suicide
This certification course trains Instructors to teach QPR for Suicide Prevention to their community or school. Participants first learn about the nature of suicidal communications, what forms these communications take and how they may be used as the stimulus for a QPR intervention. Participants then learn to market QPR, target potential Gatekeepers, and how to teach the QPR curriculum. Participants also learn to deal with audience demand to talk about suicide, survivor issues and how to make immediate interventions and referrals. Each participant has the opportunity for individual rehearsal and practice through role-plays.
Participants will:
- Learn about the nature of suicidal communications
- Learn how to make immediate interventions and referrals
- Practice interventions and referrals through role-plays
- Leave this training with knowledge and skills to provide QPR Gatekeeper training to others on how to recognize the warning signs of suicide, offer hope, and get help (how to question, persuade, and refer)
