Suicide Prevention Training

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college and university students, but it is also one of the most preventable causes of death. QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer), guided by certified trainers, is a program designed for everyone to learn what can be done to prevent suicide.

QPR is a one hour presentation where you will learn the signs of suicide and three basic principles of how to help save a life. QPR is designed for students, faculty and staff and anyone at UCF.

A QPR session can also be arranged at a convenient time specifically for your group or organization. QPR is coordinated by the UCF Counseling Center with certified trainers from UCF departments across campus. For more information about arranging QPR training for your group or organization at UCF, call Dr. Teresa Chmelir at 407-823-2811 for QPR information.
