Faubourg supervisors go into intervention settings upon request to discuss intervention strategies or to attend specific case studies.

Clinical support for workers affected by a client’s suicide…

Every social worker may at some point be faced with a client’s suicide or attempted suicide. In such a case, this person has free access to a specific clinical support service for community social workers.

Training programs…

Awareness-raising sessions, training sessions accredited by Emploi Québec and conferences are offered to stakeholders who wish to acquire skills closely related to the issue of suicide. All of our training, awareness sessions and conferences are also offered in the workplace.  The resource persons adjust the proposed content according to the clientele in the workplace and the needs identified by the participants. Costs vary depending on the activity and the workplace (network and private versus community) and include taxes, documentation and travel expenses.

The partner line: 450 565-0490…

The establishment of the partner line is one of the initiatives of the Centre Prévention Suicide Faubourg to reduce the congestion/load on its intervention line.  This way, we are able to ensure the availability of our social workers on a priority basis in responding to calls from our clientele. Organizations, private and public companies and schools are invited to contact us by phone or to leave a message.  We will contact them within a maximum of 48 hours.
