    Gatekeeper - Mental Health First Aid Basics and QPR

    Training Agency: BestSelf Behavioral Health (2 Hour Virtual Training)

    THERE ARE NO TRAININGS BEING OFFERED AT THIS TIME.

    What is a Gatekeeper?
    According to the Surgeon General's National Strategy for Suicide Prevention, a Gatekeeper is someone in a position to recognize a crisis and the warning signs that someone may be contemplating suicide. Gatekeeper include students, faculty, staff, parents, friends, neighbors, and many others who are strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide or other mental health emergency.  

    QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer. Three 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 people, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor.

    Mental Health First Aid basics teaches you how to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. This basics training helps you identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance abuse disorders.
