In this presentation, Dr. Marie-Claude Geoffroy draws on findings from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development and other population-based cohorts to explore how early adversity -including bullying - and mental health trajectories contribute to suicide risk in youth. Grounded in developmental psychology and life-course epidemiology, this presentation highlights how longitudinal data can inform upstream, developmentally sensitive prevention strategies. Dr. Marie-Claude Geoffroy will demonstrate how insights from life-course epidemiology and developmental psychology enhance our understanding of youth suicide. By attending this expert session, you will gain key insights from longitudinal research on youth suicide and understand the critical role of early intervention in effective suicide prevention.
