Child & Youth Suicide Prevention

Last updated on February 22, 2021

Talk to someone if you’re concerned about the thoughts, feelings or behaviours that you or someone close to you is having - ­ for example:

  • Changes in eating or sleeping habits
  • Not interested in doing favourite activities
  • Talking about dying or not wanting to live anymore

If you have serious or immediate concerns: Talk to a doctor, mental health centre, hospital emergency department (9-1-1) or one of these crisis phonelines, internet chat, and/or text support:
