Today marks World Suicide Prevention Day 2024. Suicide leaves behind feelings of grief, concern, and loss for families, friends, and society as a whole. Addressing it requires a compassionate, coordinated effort from all sectors of society. Each year, more than 700,000 lives are lost to suicide worldwide, with many other more who make attempts. Every suicide is a heartbreaking tragedy that leaves lasting effects on those left behind. King & Moffatt are dedicating time across all our sites to conduct a Toolbox Talk (TBT) on Suicide Prevention. It's a crucial topic that affects so many, and we're raising awareness among our teams. An email was also shared with our staff, highlighting key facts and ways we can all help combat suicide. Together, we can make a difference. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealthMatters #EndTheStigma #YouAreNotAlone #ReachOut
