St. Croix Central School District

QPR is an approach to confronting someone about their possible thoughts of suicide. It is not intended to be a form of counseling or treatment, instead a means to offer hope through positive action.

There are three simple steps to follow:

QUESTION
Question the person about suicide. Ask if they've had any thoughts about it, feelings, or even plans? Do not be afraid to ask!

PERSUADE
Persuade the person to get help. Remember to listen carefully and then say, "Let me help" or "Come with me to find help!"

REFER
Refer for help. If it is a child or adolescent, contact any adult, parents, minister, teacher, coach, or a counselor (1-800- 866-HOPE)
