Abstract

The relationship between mental illness and suicide no longer has to be demonstrated. In Quebec however, those intervening in the prevention of suicide, without denying this link, appear not to have integrated this information in their practice. As in North America and Europe, very few prevention centres have evaluated the efficiency and impact of their intervention. Finally, the few programs promoting mental health or preventing mental illness elaborated in Quebec seldom aim at preventing suicide. In these conditions how can we expect reducing the suicide rate?
