Abstract

This supplement provides The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry readers with 6 articles in clinical research about protective factors of suicidal behaviours in adolescents, while also considering depression and borderline personality disorder (BPD), 2 psychopathologies commonly associated with these behaviours. Wishing to disseminate their research findings in North America, authors from France and Quebec wrote their papers in English. This supplement is the result of a Franco-Quebecer academic cooperation started in 2005 at the Clinique des troubles de l'humeur of Rivière-des-Prairies Hospital (Université de Montréal). It was carried out in France with the Service de psychiatrie de l'enfant et de l'adolescent of l'Hôpital Pitié-Salpêtrière (Université Pierre et Marie Curie), Centre Hospitalo-Universitaire in Rouen (Université de Rouen), Centre Hospitale in Rouvray, and Centre Hospitalo-Universitaire in Amiens (Université de Picardie Jules Verne) and in Quebec with the Depressive Disorders Program of Douglas Mental Health University Institute (McGill University) and Clinique réseau jeunesse of Institut Philippe-Pinel (Université de Montréal).

This child psychiatry network dealing with suicidal behaviours and associated pathologies was funded, from 2006 to 2012, by the Commission permanente de coopération Franco-Québécoise (Franco-Quebecer cooperation standing commission). It was managed in Quebec and France by Professors Jean-Jacques Breton, David Cohen, Réal Labelle, and Jean-Marc Guilé. This network allowed for student exchanges, measure instrument sharing and validation, national and international scientific communications, and finally, a research data collection in Quebec and France, where it was facilitated by Professor Priscille Gérardin.
