Suicide
If you or if someone you love is thinking or talking about suicide, and you are worried for your/their safety, call or text Canada’s new mental health hotline 988. For acute emergencies, call 911 or go to your local hospital.
Please note: AMI-Quebec helps families cope with mental health problems and illnesses in a loved one. We are not a crisis centre; contact the organizations below for help.
