Monique Séguin, PhD, researcher at the McGill Group for Suicide Studies, at the Douglas Institute, just wrote a book on suicide.

The book is in French only and is published by Les Éditions au Carré. It aims to answer questions about suicide, such as:

• Is suicide more frequent in Quebec ?
• Is there a link between suicide and mental illness?
• How to recognize the signs of a suicidal person and how to react ?
• How to deal with loss ?
• How to talk to children about the suicide of a parent?
• Does media coverage encourage suicide ?

The book is now available in librairies.
