 Abstract:\n\nThe prevention of suicide has constituted a major public heal
 th concern in Canada for over half a century. Following the decriminalizat
 ion of attempted suicide (1972)\, and the identification of suicide as a p
 ublic health priority in the Lalonde Report of 1974\, there have been mult
 iple overlapping initiatives employed to address this tragic social phenom
 enon. Strategies have included crisis centres\, volunteer-staffed telephon
 e services\, barriers at suicides 鈥渉ot spots鈥漒, public awareness campaigns
 \, and repeated calls for enhanced mental health services. This presentati
 on looks back on the first generation of suicide prevention strategies\, a
 nalyzing how and why they became a priority in the decade leading up to th
 e Canada Health Act of 1984.\n\nRegistration\n
