自杀之性 The Suicide Sex - Dr. Robert Whitley

Canadian Association for Equality: In Canada, over 75% of suicides are made by men, with over 50 men per week dying by suicide. Experts have labelled this a ‘silent epidemic’. In this presentation, Dr. Whitley will explore some of the socio-cultural factors that may be playing an explanatory role in these elevated rates of suicide and examine what can be done to prevent suicide and promote mental health.
