Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR)

QPR (Question, Persuade, & Refer) is a program that works by teaching participants skills they can use when someone is experiencing a potential mental health crisis. Just like CPR, QPR is an emergency response to someone in crisis and can save lives. It is the most widely taught Gatekeeper Training in the world.

We specialize in providing QPR certification courses to people in demanding industries, such as healthcare, higher education, athletics, and construction. Courses can be taught as standalone QPR certification or with additional mental health information that is tailored to each unique audience. Continuing education credits available for several disciplines, including but not limited to athletic trainers and EMTs.

Prices start at $350 per course.
