QPR: Question, Persuade, Refer—Spend an Hour, Save a Life Sept. 24, 1 to 2:30 p.m., River Valley Room, Memorial Union QPR stands for question, persuade, and refer —- three simple steps that anyone can learn to help save someone 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. QPR can be learned in our Gatekeeper course in as little as one hour. As a QPR-trained Gatekeeper you will learn how to recognize the warning signs of suicide, know how to offer hope, and know how to get help and save a life.

The purpose of Safe Zone is to reduce homophobia and heterosexism on the UND campus, thereby making our campus a safer and freer environment for all members of our community regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Safe Zone prepares members of the campus community, primarily faculty and staff, to serve as resources on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) issues and also strives to educate the campus community about the Safe Zone program. The goal of the Safe Zone Ally Training Program is to provide a welcoming environment for LGBTQ persons by establishing an identifiable network of supportive persons who can provide information and a safe place for the community within our campus. Presenters: Safe Zone committee members. Sponsored by the Safe Zone Committee, Dean of Students Office, Residence Services, Student Health Services and Student Health Promotion Office, University Counseling Center, Wellness Center, and Women’s Center For more information about the Safe Zone Program or to schedule a custom-designed Safe Zone Ally Training Program for your department or workplace, contact Cheryl Terrance, associate professor, psychology deptartment, 777-3921, safezone@und.nodak.edu. -- Denis F.
