A wonderful opportunity from our friends Partners Health Management

Preguntar, Persuadir y Referir
18 de Diciembre de 2025
de 6:00 P.M. a 8:00 P.M.

PPR significa Preguntar, Persuadir y Referir: los tres pasos simples que cualquier persona puede aprender para ayudar a salvar una vida del suicidio.

Así como las personas capacitadas en RCP ayudan a salvar miles de vidas cada año, quienes reciben capacitación en PPR aprenden a reconocer las señales de alerta de una crisis suicida y hacer la pregunta, persuadir y referir a alguien a recibir ayuda. Cada año, miles de estadounidenses, como usted, aceptan salvar la vida de un amigo, colega, hermano o vecino. En PPR se puede aprender en nuestro curso Gatekeeper en tan solo una hora.

¿Qué es un Gatekeeper?
Según la Estrategia Nacional para la Prevención del Suicidio del Director General de Servicios de Salud (2001), un Gatekeeper es alguien que puede reconocer una crisis y las señales de advertencia de que alguien puede estar contemplando el suicidio.

Como Gatekeeper capacitado por PPR, aprenderá a:
Reconocer las señales de alerta del suicidio
Aprender a ofrecer esperanza
Aprender a buscar ayuda y salvar una vida
