Taking part in Suicide Prevention Week means adding your voice to a larger movement of people who refuse to accept suicide as an option. Every year for one week, make a commitment to prevent suicide in your community and among your loved ones.
On average, three Quebecers take their own lives every day. That is three friends, parents, children, or spouses too many. We can’t accept the loss of all those members of our community. Suicide is never the answer.
With the theme “Lend a hand. Foster hope,” the 36th edition of Suicide Prevention Week reminds us that suicide is not inevitable. By working together, we can save lives.
For Suicide Prevention Week, let’s dare to talk about suicide. Let’s be bold enough to break taboos. By opening up a dialogue, we can build a vast network of people who are aware and ready to act for their loved ones and themselves.
Order material to raise awareness through motivational messages and information about resources in your community.
Offer “You’re important to me” pins to people you know, to show them you care.
Join the #DareToTalkAboutSuicide campaign on your social networks.
Take part in an activity that supports the cause or start a new project.
For more than 30 years, Association Québécoise de Prévention du Suicide has organized a week of activities to promote suicide prevention throughout Quebec.
Suicide Prevention Week is an opportunity to raise awareness of resources, normalize seeking help, and promote suicide-related advocacy.
Taking action to prevent suicide goes well beyond Suicide Prevention Week. Throughout the year, we invited you to take action by:
