Office of Mental Health & Addictions Minister Brian Comer visited @EskasoniBand Health Centre today to learn more about their Access to Open Minds initiative and discussed the growing relationship we'll work to strengthen with so many of our amazing partners across the province.
It’s #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. Suicide impacts many in our communities, and particularly 2SLGBTQ+ youth.
If you are a 2SLGBTQ+ young person in need of support, reaching out to @LGBTYouthLine is a great place to start.
Today, around the world, WSPD will be recognized and is a chance for everyone to join in promoting understanding about suicide. You can do your part by lighting a candle in your window at 8:00 pm to recognize all lives impacted by suicide. #WSPD #WSPD2021
Tomorrow, September 10th, is World Suicide Prevention Day and CASP will be recognizing the day through a free webinar.
