Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) is designed to help anyone learn how to recognize the warning signs of suicide, offer hope, and help save lives. Parent and Family Programs is grateful for the opportunity to share this QPR training hosted by the Georgia Tech Center for Mental Health Care & Resources with Dr. Andrew Stochel.

👉Click through to join us on Teams for this nighttime QPR training, Thursday, Feb. 19, from 7 - 8:30 p.m. ET.

Some college students have thoughts of suicide at some point in their lives, and many more struggle with mental health concerns. Many parents often want to give help and support to their children, but often feel unsure and uneasy about what to do. There is a great deal of taboo surrounding suicide, asking for help, and knowing what to say. Come learn about steps to talk with your student about suicide and the resources to support them.

Please note that this session will not be recorded due to the sensitive nature of the topic being discussed. This training is repeated several times throughout each academic year. Additionally, Dr. Stochel has created an overview of the topics covered in a QPR training, which is available for viewing at the link below. It is not a training session, but it does provide important information and resources for parents and families.
