What is ALICE?

ALICE is an acronym that stands for Asset Limited, Income, Constrained, Employed. It's a metric that represents the number of households in a specific geographic area that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level but less than the basic cost of living for the county - also known as the ALICE Threshold. 

ALICE may be a relative or friend. You may be ALICE. As cashiers, waiters, child care providers, and other members of our essential workforce, ALICE earns just above the Federal Poverty Level but less than what it costs to make ends meet. These struggling households are forced to make impossible choices each day.

What is QPR?

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer. 3 simple steps that anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. QPR training is designed to teach you how to recognize the warning signs, clues, and suicidal communications of people in trouble, and how to respond to prevent a possible tragedy.

QPR is not a form of counseling or treatment but rather it is intended to offer hope through positive action.

Why Be a QPR Gatekeeper?

The information you gain from QPR training could provide you with the information needed to potentially save a life.

Gatekeepers are given information that is easy to understand and reinforced by the QPR booklet and card, complete with warning signs, methods to encourage a person to get help, and a list of resources available in your community.
