As part of its commitment to corporate good citizenship, AssurExperts works to further suicide prevention through its AssurExperts Suicide Prevention foundation.
The foundation’s goal is to support regional suicide prevention centers throughout Quebec. These centers provide telephone intervention service at no charge, hold clinical training sessions, deploy volunteers to act as sentinels in the schools or workplace, and offer postvention services.
Did you know that over 426,000 people are estimated to have been affected by the suicidal thoughts or suicide attempt of a family member or friend?
Did you know that more than 700,000 persons in Quebec are affected by suicide each year?
Did you know that suicide remains the number one cause of death among men under 40 years of age, and that it is the cause of one-third of deaths among young people age 15 to 19?
Did you know that on average there are four suicide-related deaths each day in Quebec? Or that each year over 42,000 people attempt suicide, and 222,000 people think seriously about it?
Helping Quebec’s suicide prevention centers merits a closer look. AssurExperts Suicide Prevention hopes to contribute to the upkeep of all prevention and intervention centers. To do so, AssurExperts Inc. is matching the amounts donated by its brokers and affiliated agencies.
We are insurance brokers who are good corporate citizens, and AssurExperts Suicide Prevention is our way of saying “WE’RE FOR LIFE.”
AssurExperts… We’re for life!
