Whereas in the general Canadian population, after you get to adolescence each will go their own way, so they are more autonomous.  So that if one brother commits suicide, it won\u2019t impact so much on the rest of the family as you find in aboriginal communities.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDr. Tousignant points to the role of residential schools in the breakdown of aboriginal culture as a contributing factor to the high rate of suicide.\n <\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to the <b>Canadian Institutes of Health Research<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER  <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca\">Canadian Institutes of Health Research<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/cihr.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02010-10-21<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rate of <b>suicide among aboriginal youth <\/b>can be as high as 8 times the national average in some communities.
