QPR: Question.Persuade.Refer.
Suicide claims the lives of over 2,000 Pennsylvanians each year (according to the latest statistics) – an average of five (5) lives each day. It is estimated that each suicide directly and intimately affects six people. Therefore, at least 12,000 Pennsylvanians become survivors of suicide each year who have lost a loved one, friend, co-worker, or classmate, or someone in the community to suicide.
