Last week, Centre for Suicide Prevention’s Mara Grunau and Robert Olson attended the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP) Conference in Iqaluit, Nunavut. The focus of the conference was Hope, Help and Healing, and we were privileged to present on the work we do in making suicide research accessible to the general public. We had such a lovely time in Iqaluit, and thoroughly enjoyed the capital of Nunavut and the great events and speakers that #CASP16 had to offer.
