We all have a role to play in preventing suicide. Help us, by becoming a #LifelineQPRgatekeeper. Did you know that in Australia we lose 8 people to suicide every day? And 6 of them are men.

We all need to do our part in helping to prevent suicide. Gatekeepers are individuals who are likely to come into contact with people at risk of suicide.

Gatekeeper training aims to equip those individuals with the skills to recognise and respond appropriately to people at risk of suicide and assist them to seek appropriate help.

QPR strands 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 help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognise the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade and refer (QPR) someone to help. 

The QPR training course will provide you with:

• Knowledge and skills to identify warning signs that someone may be suicidal
• Confidence to talk to them about suicidal thoughts
• Connect them with professional care

Lifeline South Coast will be delivering this QPR suicide awareness session face-to-face in Crookwell on Tuesday 9 July.

This is a FREE session for participants, but places are very limited.

Tuesday 9 July, 9.30am-12.30pm at the Rural Fire Service training room, 40 McIntosh Lane, Crookwell
