Training: What Gun Owners Can Do to Prevent Suicide
Presented by Paul Quinnett, Ph.D.

The QPR Institute has partnered with injury prevention experts at Dartmouth and Harvard universities to produce a research-based online training program on what gun dealers, ranger masters, and gun owners can do to prevent suicide.

The training is based on extensive research on the role of firearms in suicidal behavior, and how and why restricting access to firearms by people in emotional crisis can save lives. The training is not anti-gun. Rather, it focuses on what gun dealers and gun owners can do in a "foreground check" -- not a "background check" - to prevent inappropriate access to firearms and their misuse.
