EDUCATION & TRAINING
It All Starts With A Question ...
We believe education can save lives. That's why since our very first day we have been continuously developing and growing our programme of courses and training schedules.
We were the very first organisation in Ireland to deliver QPR suicide prevention training .
We have trained over 2,000 people for free, in the life saving programme, since grandfathering it into Ireland. Our current roster of education programmes offers courses ranging from how to spot signs of suicide to how to improve your own mood and well-being as well as important training on how to over see your children's internet usage.
QPR
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbour.
