Towards the Development of a Nunavut Suicide Prevention Strategy: a Summary Report on the 2009 Community Consultations

To ensure that all perspectives on suicide were considered, the Working Group for a Nunavut Suicide Prevention Strategy organized a wide-ranging consultation in the summer of 2009. A total of 54 consultations were held; 251 people shared their views. This report describes what the participants said, dividing their comments into 2 groups: general comments on the factors associated with suicide & suicide prevention, & comments dealing more specifically with 7 possible strategies outlined in a discussion paper prepared for the consultations.
