Suicide Prevention Guide for Parents and Caregivers
Youth suicide is a complex, tragic, and sadly, prevalent issue throughout Canada. Mental health and wellness promotion is a critical part of suicide prevention. When young people have strategies for staying mentally well and knowing when and how to ask for help if needed, the risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviours is reduced.
This guide was developed to help answer frequently asked questions, so that parents and caregivers can prepare, prevent and respond if your child experiences thoughts of suicide.
