Suicide prevention trainings are designed to teach individuals the warning signs of suicide and how to respond in a crisis situation. GUIDE offers in-person suicide prevention training on the QPR approach. QPR stands for Question, Persuade and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. More information about this program can be found here.
