Suicide prevention training

Community members are invited to participate in free suicide prevention training, designed to provide everyday people with simple steps to help save a life from suicide.

Murray PHN is providing access to Question. Persuade. Refer. (QPR) training, which is available to anyone 18 years or over. It takes only 60 minutes and can be completed in multiple sittings.

What is QPR training?

QPR is an online evidence-based training program that provides the knowledge and teaches the skills to help recognise warning signs of suicide, builds confidence to talk with a person about suicidal thoughts, and shows then how to connect the person with available supports. QPR is an emergency response, similar to CPR, and is the first step to support someone in a crisis. People who are suicidal often communicate distress through their words or actions, and new ways of thinking about suicide prevention suggest that training a large number of people in a community to respond to these signs can build a local safety net. The training is perfect for anyone who regularly interacts with a range of people, such as hairdressers, baristas, healthcare workers, sporting or recreation club personnel and volunteers. Registration also provides access to a range of suicide prevention resources.

Murray PHN acknowledges its catchment crosses over many unceded First Nations Countries, following the Dhelkunya Yaluk (Healing River).

We pay our respects and give thanks to the Ancestors, Elders and Young people for their nurturing, protection and caregiving of these sacred lands and waterways, acknowledging their continuing cultural, spiritual and educational practices.

We are grateful for the sharing of Country and the renewal that Country gives us. We acknowledge and express our sorrow that this sharing has come at a personal, spiritual and cultural cost to the wellbeing of First Nations peoples. We commit to addressing the injustices of colonisation across our catchment, and to listening to the wisdom of First Nations communities who hold the knowledge to enable healing. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
