Suicide Prevention Week 2026
Today marks the start of the 36th annual Suicide Prevention Week, which will run from February 1st to 7th, 2026.
Under the theme “Reaching Out – Supporting Hope,” this week is an opportunity to remind you that if you are experiencing difficulties, are in distress, or are bereaved by suicide, you can reach out, and another hand will be there to welcome you. The following resources are available 24/7:
- Phone: 1-866-APPELLE (277-3553)
- Text: 535353
- Chat, information, and tools: suicide.ca
And if you are simply experiencing any other concerns, the FMRQ is there for you regarding any issues related to your residency, the Beneva EAP is there for you, and if you need to speak to a peer supporter, the Quebec Physicians’ Health Program (QPHP) is also there for you.
