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

Anyone working in suicide prevention may, at one time or another, have to deal with a client’s suicide or suicide attempt. If this happens, they have free access to the appropriate clinical support.

Our training program…

Awareness-raising programs, training-certified by Emploi-Québec, and conferences are offered to care workers wanting to acquire the knowledge surrounding suicide-related issues. All our training courses, awareness-raising programs, and conferences are also available in the workplace. The resource persons adjust the proposed content according to the client’s setting and the participants’ needs. The cost varies according to the activity and workplace (network and private versus community-based) and includes all taxes, documentation, and travel expenses.

Faubourg SPC also actively collaborates with research activities touching upon the issues surrounding suicide and is a member of C.R.I.S.E. (Centre de recherche et d’intervention sur le suicide et l’euthanasie) at UQAM.
