Choosing life : special report on suicide among Aboriginal people / Joint Chairmen: René Dussault and Georges Erasmus. : Z1-1991/1-41-4E

Cover image

Suicide rates, already five to six times higher among Aboriginal youth than their non-Aboriginal peers, could increase dramatically over the next 10 to 15 years if action isn't taken now. Changing demographics mean that the population bulge of children, now under 15 years of age, will soon pass through the vulnerable years of young adulthood. In this special report, the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples calls for a 10-year Canada-wide campaign to reduce the prevalence of suicide and self-injury. The report states that communities hold the keys to change.
