CRAWFORDSVILLE – Franciscan Health is hosting a QPR (Question, Persuade, and Refer) suicide prevention training in Crawfordsville in December.

The training is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 3, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., in the Community Room at the Montgomery County Youth Service Bureau, and is open to all.

QPR is an entry-level suicide prevention course that teaches how to identify suicidal ideation and how to persuade someone to seek help. QPR is a widely taught gatekeeper training course. Like CPR, QPR is an emergency system that can help someone in a crisis save lives.

Those who become QPR-trained gatekeepers will gain the ability to recognize signs of suicidal thoughts, provide hope and support, and guide someone to life-saving assistance.
