Empowering Faculty in Supporting Student Mental Health: Question Persuade Respond Suicide Prevention and Empathetic Support with QPR Training, Part 3

Just as people trained in CPR 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 for help. As members of the ISU community, you are often the first individuals to notice signs and symptoms of suicide in a colleague, student, resident, coworker, friend, or loved one. This uniquely positions you as the first line of defense to assist someone in getting help and, therefore, saving a life. Participants will receive electronic access to helpful materials and receive a certificate from the QPR Institute upon completion. 

This training will help you recognize the warning signs of suicide, learn how to provide empathetic support, offer hope to students who need it, and effectively guide individuals toward appropriate professional help and resources. Registration is required.
