This year’s World Suicide Prevention Day theme, The First Nations Mental Wellness Continuum, a framework developed by Thunderbird Partnership Foundation with Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners including Health Canada, which describes and explains these four aspects in action, and how aligning them brings wholeness.

This is also the theme of our 2019-2020 Annual Report, which has just been released!
