Pride Talk project seeks participants!

2S/LGBTQIA+ communities are disproportionately affected by suicide, but there are very few interventions targeted to respond to their unique needs.

The Pride Talk project aims to fill this gap through the development of a suicide prevention intervention designed by and for 2S/LGBTQIA+ communities in Canada. This intervention, which will be entirely online, will enable 2S/LGBTQIA+ people to be better equipped to intervene with their peers who are having suicidal thoughts, and to refer them to appropriate services.

The Pride Talk project represents an opportunity to make a change in suicide prevention within 2S/LGBTQIA+ communities, by putting forward the voices, experiences, values, and needs of their members.

The Pride Talk project is seeking individuals above 18 years old who:

  • identify as 2S/LGBTQIA+
  • live in Canada
  • Have received support from a 2S/LGBTQIA+ peer AND/OR provided support to a 2S/LGBTQIA+ peer for suicidal thoughts in a non-professional context.


Participation in this project consists of answering a short online questionnaire , following which the selected individuals will take part in a semi-structured interview , in French or English, lasting up to 90 minutes, on the Zoom platform.

A compensation of $75 is offered to all interviewees.

The Pride Talk research project is directed by Professor Olivier Ferlatte at the Université de Montréal and funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). The project has been approved by Université de Montréal's Health and Science Research Ethics Board (CERSES) (no. 2023-4488).
