World Suicide Prevention Day

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. We want to support changing the narrative of how we talk about suicide and support those who experience thoughts of suicide. By changing the narrative about how we talk about and approach suicide, we can make it easier and safer for those experiencing thoughts of suicide to talk about their experiences and receive appropriate support.

If you or someone you know are experiencing thoughts of suicide, please utilize the following resources that can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

Call or text: 9-8-8 (A bilingual, trauma-informed, culturally appropriate service, available to anyone in Canada.)

For more information and resources, to help identify what you may need, and to find out more about what happens when you contact 9-8-8 go to: https://988.ca
