AQPS launches new campaign on suicide awareness

The Association Quebecoise de Prevention du Suicide (AQPS) is aiming to raise awareness on the issue of suicide in the province.

The group has launched a campaign in hopes to sensitize the population.

According to the CBC, there are approximately 3 suicides every day in Quebec. Despite more mobilization on the issue, AQPS spokesperson Anne-Marie Caron states the fact that numbers in Quebec have not decreased is worrisome. 

The campaign begins on the 23^rd suicide prevention week.
