QPR Training Recap:
The QPR method was developed specifically to detect and respond to anyone emitting suicide warning signs. However, independent researchers and federal agencies who funded the original assessments of QPR have suggested that the QPR intervention could be useful in far broader applications.When properly used, QPR works from a foundation of knowledge, compassion and understanding. The resulting intervention may help detect a wide range of personal problems that should respond to professional assessment and care. Early intervention may well prevent the development of suicidal thoughts and feelings downstream from a current crisis.
Jennifer broke down and discussed the three skills of QPR you can take to respond to anyone emitting suicide: Question, Persuade, Refer. This was a very interactive/brief training where volunteers were engaged in questions and topics we often don't discuss about suicide.
