Free Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) Training

In order to protect our community, Washington County Public Health & Environment encourages anyone in the community who is interested to take a free lifesaving suicide intervention course.

To access your free training:

• Go to the QPR Gatekeeper Training Portal
• Enter WCDPH as your Organization Code

• Complete and submit your registration form with your email
