What Is The QPR Gatekeeper Certification?
Ever wondered how you can make a real difference in someone's life simply by asking the right questions? Join us on the Dove's Inner B.E.A.U.T.Y. Podcast as we welcome Demetria Nickens, a highly experienced mental health first aid instructor and trauma recovery coach. Demetria shares the life-saving skills taught in the QPR Gateway Certificate, a one-hour suicide prevention training that equips you to recognize the signs, debunk myths, and engage in meaningful conversations that could save lives. This isn't just about learning new information; it's about becoming a vital part of a supportive community ready to act in times of crisis.
Alongside our co-host Garfield Bowen, Demetria dives into the practicalities of QPR training, including the invaluable role-play exercises designed to boost your confidence in handling sensitive situations.
