Ottawa, November 24, 2016 -

The House of Commons Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs is studying Suicide Among Indigenous Peoples and Communities. The Committee is inviting health professionals and community members working with First Nations, Inuit or Métis communities to take part in an electronic consultation, titled “Availability and Quality of Mental Health Services in Indigenous Communities”.

This survey is intended to better understand the availability and provision of mental health services to First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities and will take approximatively thirty (30) minutes to complete.

The report the Committee presents to the House of Commons will include the results of this electronic consultation.

We invite you to take approximately 30 minutes to complete the questionnaire by sending an email to INAN@parl.gc.ca.
