title: [Suicide and social policy in Quebec].
abstract: Starting from three documents published by organizations set up by the Québec government, the author examines how the government intends to give direction to and build a framework for social intervention in the area of suicide. The article looks at the fate that social policies could and, according to the author, should reserve for suicide. The author argues for an approach that fully recognizes the social dimension of suicide and that emphasizes primary prevention as well as government support for an autonomous community network that would have equal footing with the public network.
