World Suicide Prevention Day, September 10

Sep 9, 2024

World Suicide Prevention Day is a chance for everyone to join us in promoting awareness about suicide: those impacted by a suicide attempt or loss, family and friends, charitable organizations, professionals, politicians, volunteers, and community members.

CMHA and the Centre for Suicide Prevention (tag) applaud the federal government’s creation of the 9-8-8 Suicide Crisis Helpline 📞 and Canada’s first National Suicide Prevention Action Plan. But our work doesn’t stop there. We continue to advocate for a fully funded national suicide prevention strategy, as recommended by WHO. Learn more about this crucial initiative: Helping save more lives: The Canadian Mental Health Association & Centre for Suicide Prevention support the National Suicide Prevention Action Plan – CMHA National  
   
Start the conversation today. Every chat, no matter how small, builds a more supportive and understanding society. Together, we can make a difference and prioritize suicide prevention, ensuring everyone gets the help they need. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #StartTheConversation
