QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) is a straightforward approach to suicide prevention that anyone can use. It has already been taught to over 5,000,000 people worldwide.

The QPR Gatekeeper training will cover:
- Suicide myths and truths,
- Recognising clues and warning signs,
- Direct and indirect expressions of suicidal intent,
- What questions to ask, and how to ask them,
- How to offer hope and persuade someone to stay alive,

Yorkshire Hypnotherapy Training – Meditation Class Teacher Training live Zoom workshop – 22nd April 2023
Presenter – Debbie Waller – Please contact for future dates
Designed for those already familiar with meditation and similar techniques, this Meditation Class Teacher Certification is for people who would like to run meditation classes.
This course concentrates on the practicalities and logistics of running meditation classes. We cover presentation skills, dealing with challenging class members, suitable class themes, planning classes and courses, advertising and so on. This means it is useful to you whether your approach to mediation is secular, spiritual or mindfulness-based. Your new skills will also be relevant to running other types of groups.
The goals of the course are for you to:
- be aware of the history and traditions of meditation,
- have an understanding of how meditation can be used for stress reduction, relaxation and personal development,
- be able to plan, organise and market meditation classes,
- be aware of wider considerations such as insurance, ethics, health and safety,
- be aware of a variety of secular or non-denominational meditative techniques,
- know a variety of subjects that can be used for focused meditation classes,
- be able to handle class dynamics and motivate students.
- (Please note – the course focuses on the practicalities of designing, organising and presenting classes. It assumes you already have some experience using meditation or similar techniques. If you don’t have this knowledge or experience, we suggest signing up for our Mindfulness in Therapy course first, you’ll find it on the cpd4therapists website, under home study.)
There is a one-day workshop plus reading and practical application tasks at home, so you get additional CPD hours without having to pay for the tutorial time. You will be asked to give a five-minute presentation during the workshop – we give you help and support in preparing it.
Please ask for further information if you want to know more about this aspect of the course.
We run workshops only once a year, and we limit attendance to a maximum of six people so you have plenty of support and time to learn.
