Incorporating QPR Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Training Into the WSU 4-H Shooting Sports Volunteer Certification Process

4-H Shooting Sports certification for adult volunteers is a structured and systematic process that allows for the addition of suicide prevention gatekeeper training without added staff burden at the state level. This article outlines how one state incorporated a one-hour QPR suicide prevention gatekeeper training into the certification process for shooting sports volunteers. Preliminary findings indicate that training was well-received by volunteers and that there was an increase in knowledge of suicide prevention by learners at the time of the training. Further research will be needed to study long-term outcomes and applicability outside of shooting sports.
