In Quebec, we offer a training workshop entitled “Agir en sentinelle pour la prévention du suicide — Déclinaison agricole” through which any adult volunteer can learn to be proactive in suicide prevention among farmers.
For example, we train agronomists, farm veterinarians, inseminators and even milk truck drivers to identify farmers in distress, to check whether they are having suicidal thoughts and to steer them to the assistance and resources available in their area.
