WORLD SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY 

September 10, 2021

Each year on September 10^th, people in over 50 countries around the world connect with each other by officially recognizing World Suicide Prevention Day. 

World Suicide Prevention Day is a chance to promote understanding about suicide:  those impacted by a suicide attempt or loss, family or friends, organizations, professionals, politicians, volunteers, and community members.

In recognition of this day, we will be hosting a virtual ONLINE EVENT on Friday, September 10, 2021 at 2:00 PM EST, in English with French subtitles, on this year’s theme of “Creating Hope Through Action”.

The event will feature presentations by a group of panelists who will share their unique experiences of suicide-related behaviours and actions and what was and wasn’t supportive to them during this time.  Following the presentations, there will be a live Q & A. At the end of the session, participants will be encouraged to participate later that evening in a “Candle Vigil”, by placing a lit candle in their window to “Light a Flame of Hope” at 8:00 pm in their respective time zones.
