The QPR Pro Gatekeeper Training for Suicide Prevention™ is an expanded version of the basic 90-minute QPR training program taught to millions worldwide. Requiring 3-4 hours, this course includes when and how to screen for suicide risk in your work setting (if appropriate), and how to support someone in crisis. More, you will learn to identify and arrange an expert referral for evidence-based suicide-specific assessment and treatment.

Modularized in a rich mix of text, video, voice-over PowerPoint™ lectures, scenario-based practice sessions, and other state-of-the-art interactive and e-learning technologies, the QPR Pro training program provides a dynamic introduction to suicide risk detection, initial intervention, referral and follow up.

A skills-based training, it includes foundational information about suicide as a public health problem, an orientation to the link between mental illness and suicide, and evidence-based treatments for patients at risk of suicidal behaviors.
