QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) is an emergency mental health intervention which teaches people to recognize and respond positively to someone exhibiting suicide warning signs and behaviors. It is not a form of counselling or treatment, but is intended to offer hope through positive action.
QPR is for everyone, not just mental health professionals. Community (on and off campus resources for employees and students) referral sources will be identified.
