Given the tremendous success and enthusiasm generated by our last Provincial Seminar On Suicide Prevention, the Montreal Suicide Prevention Centre (SPCM) and the Regroupement des centre de prévention du suicide du Québec (RCPSQ) are pleased to bring the event back for a third consecutive year in Montreal!

For this upcoming edition, we’re offering a revamped format while retaining the valuable networking opportunities that make the conference so enriching. This new schedule will allow participants to access even more content spread over two full days.

Event Schedule
Day 1: 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., followed by a networking reception
Day 2: 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The 2027 edition will take place on February 22 and 23, 2027, at Marché Bonsecours in Montreal. Over the course of these two days, participants will have access to a diverse program featuring conferences, professional development workshops, and enriching discussions among professionals and key players in the field.

We can’t wait to unveil the full program this coming fall!

On June 11, we will be hosting our thank-you reception, a special occasion to bring together our donors and partners who generously support the organization’s mission and the CPSM’s daily work. This evening will also be an opportunity to reflect on our achievements and discuss our future projects.

Thank you to everyone who helps strengthen suicide prevention efforts in Montreal.

This year’s continued success confirms the importance of making this event an annual tradition! It highlights progress in suicide prevention while reminding us of the vast amount of work that still lies ahead. Together, we explored innovative intervention approaches, shared our experiences, and renewed our commitment to suicide prevention and supporting those in distress. 💚

In total, more than 230 people participated in all the activities: a networking cocktail reception, a performance of the play Trajectoire by Théâtre Parminou, two panel discussions, over 10 conference-workshops, several booths, and numerous other activities.

These two days, rich in dialogue and learning, were deeply inspiring and strongly reaffirmed the mission of the Suicide Prevention Centers and the importance of acting collectively to help vulnerable communities.
