What can we do to stop this? Speak up! Lift the Silence surrounding suicide.
Depression and suicide are very real in our community, and
every single day, the Crisis Support Centre helps people in crisis. Awareness,
information, and crisis de-escalation can go a long way in removing the
feelings of hopelessness. The 24 Hour Distress Line receives 12,000 calls per
year. Suicide is a complex,
heartrending issue with enormous stigma attached to it. The Crisis Support Centre works hard to erase this stigma, to prevent suicide and to provide help to caregivers of individuals who are suffering from depression or who are suicidal.
Suicide Awareness
Week is September 9-15. Help lift the silence surrounding suicide by joining us
along with Canadian Mental Health Association at Edmonton City Hall on September 13 from
4-7pm for a Suicide Awareness March and Resource Fair.
Together we can
lift the silence.There is help, there is hope.
