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 offering QPR courses to people in the sport environment and as corporate trainings. Our instructors have a long history of participating and working in these spaces. QPR courses can be taught as standalone courses or with additional mental health information that is created for each unique audience. Continuing education credits available for athletic trainers and EMTs.

We offer QPR courses to corporations, student-athletes, coaches, athletic administrators, and sports medicine professionals in virtual and in-person settings. Our instructors are also trained to offer QPR courses to nurses, EMS, teachers, and college/university professors and staff.

Current Courses

Upon successful completion of any QPR course, you are certified in QPR for one year.

Courses can be a standalone QPR certification (60 or 120 minute courses) or offered with additional mental health and suicide information tailored to your group or population you serve (additional 60 to 90 minutes). Prices start at $350 per course.
