DAY 2. Peer recovery Support specialist SPEAKERS
QPR Suicide Prevention & Crisis Intervention
The QPR Suicide Prevention presentation equips individuals with a simple yet effective framework for preventing suicide. The key takeaways include learning how to recognize the warning signs of suicidal behavior, how to ask the sensitive question about suicide, how to persuade someone to seek help, and how to refer them to the appropriate resources for support. The value it offers lies in empowering individuals, whether friends, family members, or community members, to take immediate, life-saving action. The actionable insights emphasize the importance of open conversations, being non-judgmental, and knowing when and how to connect someone with professional help, ultimately fostering a supportive environment for those in crisis.
