The Manifesto for a Suicide-Free Quebec is a call to action, an invitation to join a movement. Together, we can create a future where support and collective commitment serve as a social safety net, and also influence the policies and actions that protect the most vulnerable. Your commitment is essential .
I understand
By signing the Manifesto for a Suicide-Free Quebec, you show your support for the cause, while demonstrating your power to change things and influence society.
For what?
Every day, three Quebecers take their own lives: that’s more than 1,000 per year. Every suicide is a preventable death, one death too many.
- Because suicide is a major cause of death and affects everyone.
- Because it is possible to counter suicide through concrete and continuous actions.
- Because we no longer want to lose the people we love to suicide.
