QUESTION, PERSUADE, REFER: SUICIDE PREVENTION
Monday, Feb. 24, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
The library, in partnership with Prevent Suicide PA, is hosting a
suicide prevention training called QPR. QPR stands for Question,
Persuade, Refer – the 3 simple steps that anyone can learn to
decrease suicidal behaviors and save lives. QPR is one of the
leading evidence-based programs in suicide prevention in the
country. The intent is to identify and interrupt the crisis and
direct that person to proper care. Just as people trained in CPR
and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each
year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning
signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and
refer someone to help. Each year thousands of Americans, like
you, are saying “Yes” to saving the life of a family member, a
friend, a colleague, or a neighbor. A certified QPR trainer from
Prevent Suicide PA will run this session. For more information, visit
