The Youth Suicide Prevention Research Team aims to
Improving our understanding of what makes young people suicidal

Canada Research Chair (Tier-2) in Youth Suicide Prevention
Dr. Geoffroy’s Canada Research Chair in Youth Suicide Prevention studies the development of suicidal risk and identify modifiable protective factors that build resilience. Her research is motivated by the fact that 1 in 10 youth will have seriously thought about suicide before reaching adulthood. Suicide is a leading cause of mortality across the lifespan, ranking 2nd in young people.
The research team analyzes data from large samples of individuals followed from birth to adulthood and tests the effectiveness of preventive interventions.
