Cape Assist offers QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) training to empower individuals to save lives by preventing suicide. QPR involves three simple steps—Question, Persuade, and Refer—that anyone can learn to help someone in crisis. Similar to CPR, this evidence-based training prepares participants to recognize warning signs confidently, offer hope, and refer individuals to the necessary help.

​

As a QPR-trained Gatekeeper, you will:

• Recognize suicide warning signs

• Offer hope and support

• Learn about community resources

• Save lives through timely intervention

​

This training is free of charge to anyone living, working, and/or volunteering in Cape May County, regardless of prior experience. Virtual classes last 1.5 hours, and in-person sessions are available for groups of eight or more.​
