Today we recognize World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD). On September 10th each year, WSPD is observed and provides an opportunity for everyone to join together to promote an understanding about suicide and those impacted by a suicide attempt or loss. Join others in the community at the 16th Annual Distress Centre Niagara Suicide Awareness Walk to honour those we have lost to suicide, and to offer hope to those who are struggling with thoughts of suicide. The theme for tis year is “Creating Hope Through Action”. This message of hope aims to empower people with confidence to engage with this complex subject and reduce the stigma that is associated with talking openly about suicide. If you, or someone you know is struggling – help is available 24/7 in Niagara. For immediate risk, call 9-1-1. For crisis support for adults, contact COAST at 1-866-550-5205 ext. 1. For crisis support for youth, contact Pathstone at 1-800-263-4944. For more information visit www.niagarasuicidepreventioncoalition.com #wspd2021 #creatinghopethroughaction ...
