Systems-level change is necessary to encourage suicide-safer communities. Along with CMHAs across the country, the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention has been an advocate for suicide prevention for the last 35 years. CASP not only advocates for individuals struggling with suicide-related thoughts and behaviours, but they also advocate for additional resources, supports, funding and understanding from various individuals, groups, organizations and all levels of government on mental health and quality of life issues. #YouAreNotAlone #SuicideAwareness2024

🌍 World Suicide Prevention Day | Reflecting on the Past to Shape a Better Future. On this day, as we observe World Suicide Prevention Day, it’s important to remember that the fight to prevent suicide is not new, it has deep historical roots. One pivotal moment took place over a century ago on September 10, 1882, when reformers gathered in Vienna for the World Anti-Suicide Pact. This was one of the first international efforts to address mental health and prevent suicide through education, advocacy, and reform. Since then, we've made strides, but the work continues. Globally, nearly 800,000 people die by suicide every year, and many more struggle with mental health challenges in silence. By raising awareness, promoting open dialogue, and offering support, we can continue to break the stigma around mental health and create a world where help is available to everyone. 💡 If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out. You are not alone, and together, we can make a difference. 💛 #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheStigma #SupportEachOther #EndTheSilence #itsokaytotalk

On this Suicide Prevention Day, we want to raise awareness of a tragic statistic- officers are more than 3 times more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty. Most of us will never be able to comprehend the challenges they face each day and the struggles they must overcome. We honor the courage of those who serve and recognize the unique challenges law enforcement officers face each day as they protect our communities. With 8 specialized courses on our training platform, we aim to equip agencies with the knowledge and tools to support mental health and prevent these devastating losses. Let’s work together to break the stigma, foster open conversations, and prioritize well-being in our communities. We can help decrease these numbers, one officer at a time!
