Program Description

Description

Grades 9-12: Chances are you’re familiar with CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), a well-established emergency procedure used to save lives when a person is in cardiac arrest. But have you ever heard of QPR? QPR (Question, Persuade, and Refer) Gatekeeper Training for Suicide Prevention is an educational program that can be completed in one hour and is designed to teach lay and professional "gatekeepers" the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to offer hope and take action. The term “gatekeeper” refers to anyone who may benefit from learning how to use QPR to intervene to stop a suicide such as parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, coaches, caseworkers, police officers, etc. Teens will join certified QPR gatekeeper instructor Kelly Waterhouse from West Hartford Social Services to learn how to become a gatekeepers in their own communities.
