As part of the “Walk with You” Suicide Prevention Campaign, the Wellness and Counselling Centre (WACC) of the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) is offering the QPR Gatekeeper Training for Suicide Prevention—a globally recognized, certified program developed by the QPR Institute.
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. A gatekeeper is anyone who can recognize a crisis and identify the warning signs that someone may be contemplating suicide. Everyone can have the power to save a life by acting as a gatekeeper – including YOU.
This 2-hour training will equip you with essential skills to support others in times of crisis. You will learn how to:
- Question individuals who may be struggling
- Persuade them to seek help
- Refer them to appropriate support services
- Recognize warning signs of suicide
- Understand common causes of suicidal behavior
Upon completion, you will become a certified QPR Gatekeeper and receive a certificate issued by the QPR Institute. Led by certified instructors from WACC, this training is a meaningful opportunity to gain life-saving knowledge and contribute to a more caring and resilient CUHK community.
