Although child suicide is a growing concern, very little documentation exists on the subject. Against this backdrop, a suicide intervention program was implemented in primary schools in a remote region of Quebec. This article presents the current knowledge of suicide among young children and the different ways of addressing the problem. It then describes the three components of the intervention program in question : identifying, supporting and referring students at suicide risk ; intervening and taking charge of at-risk students ; intervening with primary-school students following exposure to suicide. For each component, strategies and means are targeted. The experiment is largely innovative. It was evaluated and seems to meet the expectations of primary-school circles. However, more in-depth research into child suicide would allow further improving such interventions in the community.
