Workshop description:

Presentation of a social innovation project in health and social services supported by the Regroupement des Centres d’Amitié Autochtone du Québec (RCAAQ). To this day, two clinics exist in Quebec in Val-d'Or and La Tuque where there is a Native Friendship Centre. The next two sites will be in Saguenay and in Montreal. In this workshop, success factors for Montreal will be demonstrated with concrete indicators. These prevention workshops will benefit to Natives and partners since the subject will be connected with personalised suicide prevention approaches.
