Suicide - Aboriginal Communities Take Stock of the Killing Numbers... External assistance is absolutely essential to make a significant impact on the killing numbers. The exact numbers of suicides is shocking to say the least. In the Inuit office within Health Canada the suicide rate is almost 11 times the Canadian average. Mr. Simon, Canada’s leading aboriginal diplomat and a former president of the Inuit Circumpolar Conference, said, “The numbers speak for the issue; it should be considered an epidemic. It always overshadows the communities, even the healthy communities.” According to experts, the reasons for the increase in suicides are many. Some of the major reasons are dull economy, employment issues, drug and alcohol abuse, sexual abuse and issues pertaining to mental health. With each community battling its own set of problems, it becomes imperative to train counselors according to the need rather than adopting a universal solution. Perhaps the right approach should begin by having appropriate people take charge of the counseling centers. Next step could be to improve the diagnostic centers.
