The challenge of reducing youth suicide in Greenland - interventions, strategies and roads to be explored

Abstract

Good afternoon everybody, my name is Anne Cathrine Lefévre. I work as a consultant in PAA-RISA, which is the health promotion unit within the Ministry of health in Greenland. I would like to share with you some thoughts on the challenges we face here in Greenland and throughout the arctic world regarding the unacceptably high rates in terms of suicide amongst very young people.
