Suicide Prevention Week 2023

February 5-11, 2023 is the 33rd Suicide Prevention Week. With the new theme: Prevention is better than death, this campaign highlights the importance of prevention and encourages people to dare to talk about suicide despite fears or discomfort, since taking action can make all the difference.

Join the movement and take part in this Prevention Week

In Quebec, suicide causes us to lose three of our fellow citizens every day. It's time for it to no longer be considered an option to end suffering. Do you want to contribute to prevention and make a difference? Several options are available to you :

◦ Display and distribute awareness material in your workplace, association, school, etc.;

◦ Offer the “You’re important to me” pin to people who are dear to you and stimulate the sharing of this tool which symbolizes the social safety net to be built and the role of the community in suicide prevention. You can also leave these pins in public places;

◦ Follow the AQPS on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter and share prevention messages with the hashtag #OseParlerDuSuicide;

◦ Organize or support a prevention activity in your region.
