They have to be aware that there are dedicated suicide prevention lines that exist, for instance in Quebec. A Canadian suicide prevention line will be available soon. Pilot projects are being set up. That line will be for the civilian population, but also for military members and loved ones. Indeed, the families are sometimes grappling with enormous issues, they can be worried and in a state of extreme vigilance. So it is important to let the families know that these resources exist and that they can be supported by suicide prevention specialists.
In a suicide prevention strategy, post-intervention is extremely important. If we prepare a strategy we have to think about post-intervention mechanisms. What do you do after someone commits suicide? How do you announce things? How do you protect his environment, his colleagues and his family, among others? We can do prevention work with those people, who are in fact more likely to commit suicide themselves after someone's death.
