Suicide Awareness – From Recognition To Support – From Permanent Solution To Crisis Intervention 

Suicide is the 5^th most common cause of death in Canada and the 2^nd leading cause in our teenagers.


Since 1997 and through more than 200 mental illness presentations, Beverly has opened the lines of communication and awareness around this taboo subject.  These workshops, provide insight and the practical tools needed to reduce the stigma and provide support to those who may be experiencing these thoughts, urges, and difficult illnesses. 

 

THEME:

Despite suicide rates rising, most Canadians have very little understanding of this issue of suicide, its risk factors or how to provide help.    The cloak of secrecy around suicide needs to be pushed back in order to effectively spread awareness and assist those who are caught in this sense of hopelessness.

OUTLINE:

This suicide workshop has been created to address the critical need for basic education about suicide and to enable participants to provide informed and effective suicide interventions and support to their peers, families and friends.
