QPR/QPR+ Registration

The basic QPR training takes 60 minutes, and the QPR+ training takes approximately 90 minutes.

In QPR training, participants can expect to learn the warning signs for depression and suicidal ideation, how to ask someone if they are considering suicide and how and where to refer someone for help. In QPR+ training, participants receive all the training offered in the QPR training plus training on UT's protocol for helping distressed students.

We will offer QPR training at the VolAware event on October 7th from 10am - 11am, 12:30pm - 1:30pm, and again at 3:30pm - 4:30pm in room 221 of the University Center. You do not have to pre-register for these trainings. Just come to room 221 in the UC at the time specified.
