[Suicide prevention in the agricultural sector]

The French agricultural sector is strongly affected by suicide. Various studies show that there is an excess mortality rate among people working in this sector. Although specific risk factors have been identified, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food has identified prevention as a national priority. In this context, the 'sentinel' training of peers in the world of agriculture is an essential lever which, over the years, is beginning to bear fruit.

[Managing suicidal crisis in a suicidology unit]

The reception service for suicidal patients is part of the national public health strategy of suicide prevention.

[Preventing suicide in general practice]

With one of the highest rates in Europe, suicide is a major public health problem in France. General practitioners are the backbone of the health system. They play a major role in suicide prevention. Mental health accounts for a large proportion of primary care practitioners' patients, the majority of which are for depressive and anxiety disorders. However, patients prefer to go to their general practitioner when they first encounter psychological difficulties. They are more likely to consult a mental health professional based on the advice of their general practitioner, hence the importance of linking primary and more specialised care.
