From prevention to intervention to postvention
Our actions
The Montreal Suicide Prevention Centre acts as much in prevention, intervention and postvention of suicide, via several 1st and 2nd line actions that are adapted to various vulnerable populations.
1st line intervention —Emergency actions:
First line phone and text-based intervention for people thinking of suicide, loved ones, bereaved and mental health professionals.
2nd line intervention:
- Phone follow-up service for people at high risk of attempting suicide: follow-up within 24 to 36 hours following the initial call to ensure that the person is still safe and to offer other support services if necessary.
- Bereavement : intervention with people grieving a death by suicide to offer them help and support in their grief.
- Postvention services to help organizations or businesses: Intervention following a suicide or attempted suicide in a workplace or community.
- Development of a postvention plan for organizations or businesses to be proactive in suicide prevention in their environment.
