This course is designed for Certified Health & Wellness Coaches who already have experience working with mental health and/or only want to become certified in QPR. (A separate course is available for those who are new to mental health coaching and want an introductory overview of mental health coaching concepts along with the QPR suicide prevention training.)

This is a live virtual presentation. The course format includes a lecture style webinar with slideshow, discussions, breakout rooms, and role-plays and is designed to be as interactive as possible. In order to receive course certificates and CEs, attendance for the entire course is required. Additionally, a passing grade of 80% or better is needed on the final course assessment, which will be administered within the Zoom platform. (Please make sure you have updated to the most recent version of Zoom prior to attending.) Participants will be provided a link and code to access the accompanying QPR booklet and class resources. Links to suicide resources also will be available after registration and during the presentation through Eventbrite.
Upon successful completion, participants will receive two certificates: 1) an NBHWC Approved Course* completion certificate worth 2 CEs, and 2) a certificate as a Certified QPR Gatekeeper. The course completion certificate is what will be needed to log NBHWC CE hours specifically, while the QPR certificate is for personal recognition.
