We educate
for life.
Centre for Suicide Prevention is an education centre, a centre of excellence, based in Calgary.
Suicide is preventable
People who think about suicide don’t want to die – they want the pain of living to end.
Caring interventions save lives
The vast majority of people who receive a caring intervention do not re-attempt. People considering suicide want an active listening ear more than anything else.
