Happy Holidays!
From all of us here at Centre for Suicide Prevention, we wish you a peaceful and hopeful holiday season.
This year was a big one for suicide prevention: As of November 30, Canada has 3-digit dialing to the Suicide Crisis Helpline, which is available to call or text at 988, 24/7.
We’re hopeful that governments will continue to support suicide prevention, including community mental health care initiatives, so that people can receive the support they need to be well and stay well in the community where they live. This is the flagship work of Centre for Suicide Prevention and the greater Canadian Mental Health Association federation.
Together, we’re building the big picture.
