WEBINAR: SUICIDE AND THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT
September 9 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Overview:

To recognize World Suicide Prevention Day, Dr. Kathleen Stephany from Douglas College will present Suicide and the Working Environment.  Suicide is not a topic that we gravitate towards because it is sad and even scary. But all of us need to learn how to increase our comfort level in talking about suicide if we want to help prevent it. This dynamic session will provide individuals and organizations with practical information and insights on how to help someone who is suicidal.

MYSTERIOUS BARRICADES CONCERT
September 10th, 2016 from Sunrise-to-Sunset

From sunrise in St. John’s NL to sunset in Victoria BC, on September 10, World Suicide Prevention Day, an 18-hour concert of hope and awareness will grace a sequence of stages across Canada.  Featuring Canada’s finest professionally trained musicians and performers, this concert will raise awareness of the mysterious barricades between mental illness and health, between the darkness of depression and the light of hope, between life and death.

In partnership with the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention and the Canadian Mental Health Association, this free concert will encourage public discourse about the prevalence of suicide and measures for suicide prevention, encourage the formation of community by those impacted by suicide, and raise funds for education and support of those at risk and those impacted by suicide.  The entire concert event will be live streamed.
