We’ve been helping Montrealers
find hope for 40 years.
Our actions
The Suicide Prevention Centre of Montreal offers a range of actions to people in suicidal distress, their loved ones and those who have experienced the suicide of a loved one or service user in the Montreal area. Our services also include training and support for mental health professionals, as well as numerous resources specifically developed for professionals and organizations affected by suicide.
The Montreal SPC is:
Preventing suicide and its impacts
Mission
The Suicide Prevention Centre of Montreal (SPCM) is the leading independent community-based organization
specializing in suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention for Montreal’s diverse population.
The SPCM ensures constant access to tailored and accessible services designed to meet the real needs
of people experiencing suicidal distress or who at risk of doing so, of their loved ones, and of those
bereaved by suicide.
Mandate
Our mandate is to prevent suicide in the greater Montreal area. This mandate is impossible without the collaboration if the SPCM with a multitude of organizations that offer actions to the Montreal community for different issues (homelessness, substance use, intimate partner violence, etc.) in order to create actions that are complementary with the existing ecosystem.
By 2029, the SPCM…
will have established itself as a strong and resilient organization. Thanks to its clinical rigor, its capacity for innovation, and its commitment to developing and formalizing practices that address emerging challenges, it is recognized as a valuable source of practical knowledge in the field of suicide prevention. This commitment is supported by an attractive organizational culture that fosters sustainable career paths.
Care,listening
and protection of life
These three values give profound meaning to our daily work. They guide and inspire the accomplishment of our mission and allow us to ensure high quality services.
Dignity & respect
Through active listening and compassion, the SPCM values every individual, regardless of their background or circumstances. It offers a safe space where people can move forward with dignity, at their own pace, while contributing to their own safety and that of others.
Hope
According to the SPCM, just reaching out is a step forward. Even in the most challenging moments, a person’s identity or life are not summed up by their current situation. The SPCM believes that every small step can lead to a more favourable situation.
Empowerment
The SPCM helps individuals regain control over their lives by strengthening their ability to make decisions, to take action, and to do so independently based on what is important to them. Its role is to support, not to control.

Be part of
the change
Although the SPCM relies on its counsellors and volunteers, the organization needs its members to convey its mission, to spread the word, but most importantly to make known the needs and opinions of each individual in order to provide a service that is relevant to them and to the needs of everyone.
The SPCM invites you to join its members in order to be part of the change and take concrete action on suicide prevention in your community!
