Can research evidence help identify who will commit suicide? If so, is it possible to prevent young people from taking their lives? Youth in many First Nations and Inuit, and some Métis communities have directly experienced the pain of losing a peer to suicide. Canadian health researchers are working to reduce this unnecessary loss of life.

Join us for refreshments and discussion about the latest health research evidence. This free event is presented by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and its Institute of Human Development, Child and Youth Health and Institute of Aboriginal People's Health. Space is limited.
