Suicide-Related Research in Canada: A Descriptive Overview A bibliography of Canadian suicide research references has been appended to this document. Further, an updated bibliography, developed by the Centre for Suicide Prevention and the Centre for Research and Intervention on Suicide and Euthanasia, has been developed for Health Canada, and appears as a separate document. Together, the two bibliographies provide a gateway to research on suicide in Canada published during the period 1985 through 2003. Mental Health Promotion For People With Mental Illness - A Discussion Paper With a growing emphasis, supported by the literature, on promoting health by focusing on individuals' strengths, capacities, and recovery capabilities, mental health promotion is becoming an increasingly relevant concept. This paper explores the potential of mental health promotion for people with mental illness.
How the Community Helpers Program Evolved from a Community's Experience with Youth Suicide This paper explores key concepts in youth mental health promotion, demonstrating how these concepts have been operationalized and implemented at the community level. The experience of youth suicide in a rural community is used to illustrate how these concepts have been put into action by the community of West Carleton. In the context of a community's response to a tragic event, the importance of developing a shared vision and creating a common community language around youth mental health is emphasized. First Connections... make all the difference First Connections... make all the difference is a resource kit that has been developed to help professionals and parents promote secure infant attachment - a secure emotional connection with a main caregiver. A baby's earliest relationships and experiences of the world influence the course of development and help to shape emotions, relationships, thinking, learning, and behaviour throughout life. When attachment is secure, a baby feels safe, protected, and secure as she or he explores and learns about his or her expanding world. A Report on Mental Illnesses in Canada A Report on Mental Illnesses in Canada is designed to raise the profile of mental illness among government and non-government organizations, and the industry, education, workplace, and academic sectors. It describes five major mental illnesses and suicide, and outlines their incidence and prevalence, causation, impact, stigma, and prevention and treatment. Coping with the Stress of Terrorism and Armed Conflict (9/11/02) Terrorist attacks, acts of war, and sudden violent events such as disasters challenge our coping skills, even if we only witness them on television. If they touch our lives more closely (for example, if they occur near where we live, or affect people we know) they can cause a lot of distress, fear and anxiety. We worry about our own safety, the safety of our loved ones and our community.
Because Life Goes On Resource Aid "Because Life Goes On...Helping Children and Youth Live with Separation and Divorce" is a publication intended to reach out to Canadian families in need of information and resources to help their children to live through the process of separation and divorce.
