Résumé
La rencontre avec la personne suicidaire en travail social est à la fois inévitable et fortement anxiogène. Pourtant, la formation universitaire en matière de suicide demeure facultative. Elle est tributaire de décisions arbitraires de la part d’écoles ou de départements. Elle s’effectue parfois entre enseignant(e)s dans les programmes de formation eux-mêmes. Cette faiblesse pédagogique devrait questionner le travail social à un double niveau. D’une part, elle nuit à la protection de l’intégrité de la personne en détresse suicidaire lorsque cette dernière rencontre une travailleuse ou un travailleur social. D’autre part, elle nuit à la travailleuse ou au travailleur social en fragilisant son intégrité psychique dans un contexte à fort risque d’autolétalité. La formation en travail social en matière de suicide doit être améliorée en conséquence. Le présent article présente un récit d’enseignement à l’évaluation du risque suicidaire qui contribue à la réflexion collective sur ce projet d’amélioration. Il décrit une pédagogie axée sur la simulation par les pairs qui met en lumière une interface riche et complexe entre les connaissances, l’acquisition de compétences et la régulation de soi pour la détresse suicidaire.

Abstract
The encounter with a suicidal person in social work is both inevitable and highly anxiety-provoking for the practitioner. However, suicide prevention training in social work programs is not mandatory, neither at the bachelor’s nor master’s level. Suicide prevention relies on individualized and arbitrary choices of either schools, departments, or even professors themselves. This inconsistency should concern the discipline of social work at two levels. First, it is detrimental to the psychological and physical integrity of the suicidal or distressed person when they meet with a social worker. Second, it is detrimental to the psychological integrity of the social worker as they are challenged with a situation that presents a high risk of self-harm. Social work education needs to be mended accordingly. This article is a detailed teaching narrative on a structured, peer-based simulation aiming at improving suicide prevention training among social work students. It explores how this model brings to the forefront a rich and complex interaction between knowledge, skills acquisition, and self-regulation in response to suicidal distress.
