Hechinger Report
QPR shorthand for Question, Persuade, Refer is one of several evidence-based curriculums recommended for use in schools by suicide prevention experts.
Wyoming has the highest rates of suicide in the nation and some teens here say learning about prevention in schools is a no-brainer, but adults are still debating how, and whether, to make it happen.

Reluctance to require suicide prevention education could cost lives
