Suicide Prevention Trainings

Jefferson Center offers various training classes for suicide prevention.

Most training classes are free of charge and cover topics such as stigma around suicide, risk factors for youth, GLBTQ and Latino/Hispanic communities, and are especially helpful for those that provide services to those communities.

QPR Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Training

QPR is a 90 minute gatekeeper training that can be customized to fit your audience. QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — 3 simple steps that anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.

Those who attend will learn to:

  • Recognize the warning signs of suicide
  • Know how to offer hope
  • Know how to get help and save a life
