Professional Development Day (PDD)

Thursday, August 30th

Workshops with Detailed Information

Question, Persuade, and Refer

(QPR)

Facilitator: County of Santa Clara Suicide

Prevention (Presenter name TBD) and

Kara Uy, Crisis Support and Case

Manager

VPA-200

Description: Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students. The QPR mission is to

reduce suicidal behaviors and save lives by providing practical and proven suicide prevention training. QPR

stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps 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 get help.

Faculty and Staff will be better prepared to address suicidal concerns on campus by learning 3 simple steps:

how to recognize signs/question the student, how to persuade the student to get help, and how to refer the

student to campus/community resources
