Faculty and staff Gatekeeper Trainings for spring 2025

Faculty and staff Gatekeeper Trainings for spring 2025

Student Health and Wellbeing, Office of Wednesday January 8, 2025

Faculty and staff are encouraged to take advantage of an excellent training opportunity that could help save a life. As a five-year initiative of the QEP, we aim to have 50% of all faculty and staff trained in a gatekeeper/suicide prevention program by the end of Year 5 (2029). Question Persuade Refer is an evidence-based, nationally recognized training appropriate for all adults to learn techniques and language to intervene in a crisis. You can learn more about the training on the QPR Institute website.

We will offer two open trainings for faculty and staff in the spring: Friday, Feb. 7, at 2 p.m. and Tuesday, March 18, at 10 a.m. Sign up for one of the sessions here: https://forms.office.com/r/QvSnTDqxZj.

If you would like to organize a training for your department, committee or group, please e-mail [email protected].
