In Episode 39 of OT Conversations that Matter, host Justine Jecker is joined by occupational therapists Michèle L. Hébert and Nadine Larivière for an important discussion on suicide prevention within occupational therapy. Focusing on the new Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT) Position Statement, the conversation highlights the need to thrive and live, moving beyond the idea of survival. This podcast episode comes on the heals of years of advocacy and numerous publications from the Addressing Suicide in Occupational Therapy Practice Network. Its debut en franglais, marks a first for the podcast seamlessly blending English and French, a true representation of how the position statement came to be. Listeners are encouraged to tune in to explore how everyone can incorporate suicide prevention in their professional practice. 

Cette conversation parlera de suicide, un sujet qui peut bouleverser. Si vous pensez au suicide ou connaissez une personne qui vous inquiète, nous vous invitons à téléphoner au 988, ligne d'aide téléphonique en cas de crise de suicide.
