QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide (in only 2 hrs!).
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.
Gatekeepers can be anyone, but include parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, doctors, nurses, office supervisors, police officers, advisors, caseworkers, firefighters, and many others who are strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide.

The Nurtured Heart Approach training teaches a parenting and relationship methodology to build positive connections by focusing on a child's positive qualities rather than negative behaviors, using a framework called The Three Stands: refuse to energize negative behavior, recognize and energize positive behavior and success, and provide clear, un-energized limits and consequences. This 6-hr training aims to help children develop "inner wealth" by understanding that they receive attention and connection for positive actions, leading to improved self-regulation and personal growth.
