Event Details

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer -- 3 simple steps that anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver 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 to help. Each year thousands of Americans are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor. QPR can be learned in our Gatekeeper course in as little as one hour.

Following this QPR information session, public training in administering Narcan will be provided. Narcan is proven to rapidly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Refreshments will be served.

Cohosted with Simsbury Social Services and Farmington Valley Health District.
