SURVEYS AND STUDIES HAVE FOUND . . .

• Suicide is the second leading cause of death for college students.
• Up to 5% of college students had attempted suicide while in college.
• About 1 in every 10 college students seriously contemplate or threaten suicide.
• One college student in twelve had made a suicide plan.
• Suicide prevention training is effective in lowering the number of suicides on campuses, and this has been the case at A&M.
• Those who have attended A&M's QPR training report they are more knowledgeable and comfortable about suicide and believe they are more likely to intervene with a troubled student in the future.

Every year at A&M a significant number of students attempt suicide...and many years there has been one or more suicide deaths.

TWO HOURS OF CERTIFIED QPR GATEKEEPER TRAINING TEACHES YOU . . .

• How to recognize the signs that someone may be at risk for suicide,
• What to do or say (or not do or say) if you think someone might be at risk for suicide,
• Where and how to refer someone who is depressed or considering suicide

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, & Refer, the three skills you learn as a QPR Gatekeeper.
